I came up with a Really nice looking Marantz SR 4200 receiver. after hooking it up I noticed a static noise coming from the speakers. This seems to get worse as it warms up. any educated guesses.

Why two identical threads?
Did you clean the pots, connectors and switches with DeoxIT?
Yes. It helped. The surround selector is a rotary switch as well and it is clean. It was very full of dust and grime so that was the first thing I tried.
It acts weird when it starts doing this the channels start cutting out and there is noise that sounds like static.
