Re: HP 3403C True RMS Voltmeter display fault
I'll add that since, in general, modern caps are smaller than vintage caps,
make sure the the voltage rating of the new cap provides sufficient margin
over the voltage rail. For instance, Tektronix

Do you mean that the audible noise is there when operating on 400 Hz, or that it's there at 50 or 60 Hz now? You are right to suspect the core laminations buzzing. On transformers intentionally built
