anthony	Re: tube rattle Uh, you know how when as a kid, you find one of your dad's toys (read: old amps) in the garage with dust all over it, you just want to plug it in and see if it works. And then you do, (with no load of course) and it smokes and you think you broke it so you procede to snip every single component out of it thinking that someday when you know how you'll fix it not realizing that because you just snipped every piece out of the chassis it's not fixable. Well that kid was me and yes I've kicked myself for it. On the brighter side, I do have a perfectly good chassis to build an amp into when I get a chance. Yeah well,.... Anthony
