Diagnosing Marshall DSL fault (video)

Fired up my DSL 50 today for the first time in a little while and was met with some sort of static noise/hum that seemed to vary in volume randomly (it never dissappeared completely). It also seems to pop and bang when the case it tapped. I made the short video below and then switched it off as to not cause to much harm.

Any ideas anyone?

    Sounds like a bad valve, but the problem with DSLs is that valve faults are actually among the less common faults they have.

    The fact that it hasn't caught fire is promising, though.

    I'll get some ordered in that case, seems like a good place to start. Yeah I read all the time about the JCM2000s having issues. Fingers crossed theres no more surprises!
