Vic,  sorry about your transformer hum, but transformers usually hum because
they  don't know the words". :-)  Lou


That was sooooo bad, but it  made me laugh anyway.

Ken, Glad you had a little laugh out of that one.  But in all honesty,  you 
know if I knew the answer to Vic's question about the buzzing, I would  offer.  
I know one thing, the bolts on the transformer to the chassis have  to be 
tight or the vibration of the transformer will  resonate to the  chassis and 
sound like a buzz.  I doubt if there was any rubber involved or  he would have 
seen it.  But trust me, the fan replacement on that amp is a  PITA!  Ok this will 
make you laugh.  
 
When I was 13 years old I got first ham license, I was a Boy Scout too. I  
learned that one of our scoutmasters was a ham. K1LSP (SK,now) I went up to him  
one day and I asked him "Hey, Mr. Tracey I hear you are a ham"?  He said  
....NO! I am an Amateur Radio Operator!!  I said Yeah, A ham!  He  said, "Maybe 
you are a 1/2 a pigs ass, but not me!! :-)  73 Lou
