Hello, I recently acquired a Congo and I’m getting a lot of vibrations/buzzing from the GRAY up post near Amy. It’s very loud like gears grinding. I’ve checked connectors and swapped the coil but it’s still doing it. Any suggestions from the owners group? Suggestions appreciated. Thanks!
Quoted from jackbot:The power to the coil is duty cycled (pulse-width modulation) to reduce the chance of it overheating. The buzzing is normal and expected. With the glass on, it's much less noticeable. You still should make sure all of the parts of the up post are correctly assembled to minimize the buzzing.
Understood, but this is REALLY loud. Did you watch the video? Yes the glass is off, but you can hear how it’s drowning out the music/sounds. I’ve played a few Congos in the past and have never heard anything like this before.
