Need some tech advise guys. I'm checking out an amp that one of the guys on here was looking at possibly buying. I contacted the owner and he says theirs a hum on the first channel but not the second channel. He's had the pots cleaned and says the filter caps are okay and still is using the original power cord. Any idea's were the problem is at and is it an easy fix? Thanks.
I did read the earlier thread on here about the other K-250 that had issues so I do understand where the problem might be coming from was just hoping someone might know the immediate cause.

A hum could be caused by any number of things, loose wire, dirty socket connector, bad opamp, etc. Because it only effects one channel, it shouldn't be that hard or expensive to fix.
There are also different kinds of hum, that could help in identifying the problem.

It could be something as easy as cleaning the switch contacts on that channels input jacks so that they short out to cancel hum as they should when nothing is plugged into them!
