Smell from amp

[andy_wreck_fan]

I got heyboer trannies in it...

I think I found another problem,it is under PT,my wires go sraight into chasis,no rubber isolator around hole cuz I didn't had place for it....all wires are little brown at that spot.....

Maybe to make another hole for 2 wires,then isolate both holes and put wires back in?

If there is no room for a gromet or pass through then use shrink tubing or tape to protect those wires passing through the chassis.

If your in the USA local hardware stores carry great plastic/nylon pass throughs well my Tru-Value store does. They even had Davies TW style knobs

A little 150 grit sandpaper can smooth those chassis holes out like you wouldn't believe. Don't forget to blast out the metal dust though.

Yes, new tubes and xformers smell because of the paint and ink on them, but it's not really a burning smell.

There's a smell to tubes... always. Part of the beauty of tube amps. The new tube smell goes away after a few hours. Most likely you're smelling the paint on the xformers.
