Transformer Vibration Isolation

[leaveitalone84]

Hey all,

Question. Has anyone ever dampened the connection between the PT and OT from the chassis of their amps?

My TW clone combo has enough vibration that I can get it to go into feedback if I play around with the controls enough.

I was thinking of some industrial silicone/rubber mounts that hold the transformer firmly yet keep vibration from moving into the chassis. I will still keep it electrically grounded though.

Thanks in advance.

Peace

I think I would want to find out which one is the primary vibrator and why is it vibrating? If the other one is vibrating in sympathy then that's a double whammy.

I think you have a problem that needs fixing all right, but not by isolating the txfmrs.

David,

The transformers are not huming any more than other amps I have/had.

My old ampegs probably had more hum. But the note of the transformer seems to be in sympathy with the amp.
