Wow!! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!.
After I put the C400 back together (big drag to properly do a tear down) I noticed if I pressed on the volume control the left channel would cut out.
Open her back up and found a cold solder joint on the left side vol control. All that man-handling probably created it, but I've got the skills to set it right. Reflowed all 6 contacts and I'm in my happy place.
Gotta say I'm really getting to love this preamp and The Carver Site!
I Hope to contribute to the site in the near future.
Best,
