I've got a "well used" 1961 Tremolux that I picked up a couple of months ago. Was working fine and I was enjoying using a load box to crank it huge gobs of gain, but I thought I'd better take it in for service.
I just got it back yesterday and I'm getting weird feedback if I try and crank the volume and tone knobs on the bright channel. It wasn't doing this before. Any other brownface users here who can testify whether this is normal?
Here's a rough and ready video I made for the tech.

It does not sound like normal to me, but I cannot identify the problem either. All I know is that the brownface showman clone I have does not do that, I have no prior experience with a Tremolux. I hope you find the issue and please let us know what it was.

Congrats on the Tremolux! I just heard one in person the other day, they sound amazing.
This won't be of much help. Sorry.
I have a 1962 Showman, I've never heard that sound come out of it. But i also don't run it on 10 or use a load box.
Did you notice the sound before you took it in to the shop? or only after? If so then i would think it's something that the guy at the shop changed.
I don't know if that's normal though.

you could try pulling preamp tubes starting with V1 and when (if) the noise stops you have isolated where in the circuit the issue if

Thanks for all the responses. I tried a couple of things but no joy, so it will go back to the shop. Definitely not a tube issue. It's some kind of internal oscillation but I'll get him to sort it.
