Hilton volume pedal: noisy a/c plug

Post by Rick Stratton »

My Hilton has developed a noisy connection where the ac adapter plugs in. Loud hum! Any fixes?

I've had that happen a couple times - clean the contacts with Deoxit. I live on the coast with salty air & I have that problem with all electronics :\
