| Dale | Thanks to everyone ... esp Bruce I was taking my 5E3 apart to send it to Bruce. It had a frizzy sound in it and I could not find it. A friend was over and we were talking about it. He wanted to hear the noise. I fire it up. The fizzt starts and he reaches over and touches the chassis and almost all the noise pretty much disappeared. So ... we take it apart and start touching things with a dowel rod. As we located the buzz places we tried killing them. I used some double faced tape a few small boards and felt. I think I have them all fixed up now! Apparently the chassis resonated with various notes. This was vibrate the tubes or various elements and this was causing the noise in the amp. I did not realize such a thing could happen. I would not have thought to check it had Bruch not suggested it (I should send you some money just for the advice!). Dale |
