The biggest actual problem is that your audience might hear the buzzing.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-02-2011 01:39 PM                     You can find a way to put wooden shims inbetween the windings and the iron cores to cease the buzzing....  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 01-02-2011 03:34 PM                        Run rectifier for 10-12 hours. Remove power and then immediately tighten the large bolts that hold the transformer windings together. You have an 85% chance of solving the problem right there.
