Bruce /Mission Amps	Re: Thanks to everyone ... esp Bruce Glad to hear you figured that one out. I had a stinker buzz one time that after a few hours of moving parts, poking parts, stretching leads, moving leads, tensioning lugs and sockets.... etc, etc, etc., ... I discovered I could alter the pitch and buzz intensity by loosening the darn eyelet board mounting screws. The actual fix took about 15mins and required me to remove the two eyelet board screws, slip a rubber grommet under the insulation board at each screw mounting hole, then reinserting the screws through the board and grommets and snugging them down. Thus floating the insulation board over the actual metal chassis. That TOTALLY fixed the problem in that one. Bruce
