[Amps] old mags

[Paul Decker]

Hey Builders, 



I'm mounting some parts in my home-brew 6m amp this weekend.  I've seen a number of pictures and other commercial amps and most that I have seen have the plate and load caps mounted on a pedestal above the floor of the rf deck.   I'm wondering if there is a reason for this, perhaps mutual inductance/capacitance between the variable caps and the floor of the rf deck?   Mechanically, it would be easy to mount them right on the floor, is that OK?    opinions? 



thanks,
