HRDLX screetch

[Hacienda]

Hi everyone,
I have a Tweed Hot Rod Deluxe with a Jensen P12N speaker that I play with a JD Telecaster, and it's been a great amp for a long time now... but, after about 30 sec. after I turn it on, it makes a horrible screetching noise, and then it works perfectly fine after that. Has anyone else had this problem?? Any tips on how to fix this? I'm want to start fixing my amps myself now and I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks, -jaime

These amps are plagued by bad solder joints. Check the solder on the tube sockets.
