Do you have the correct glue for the lead dress and stack-o-caps?
Almost tongue-in-cheek but it could be that every bit of carefully dielectric has its influence.
I ordered a chassis to see what his quality is like.
I was amazed when I got them. I sat 14 lbs of transformer on them and they didn't budge. You can see it in my express pics in the OMFG thread.
He builds a bunch of stuff from the AX84 site. They have a trainwreck front end over there with a 6SN7 output I believe called a 4-4-0.

Its slightly better than a Hammond but not nearly as good as Allyn's, rjguitar's or Turretboards.com chassis.
It can be used so I will make something out of it.
Which chassis did you buy? The ones made of .064 aluminum are my budget chassis. I can make some out of .08 aluminum for $20, $25 with alumiwelded corners. Alumiwelding is brazing not welding but it makes for a very stiff chassis. Just check out my websight at ddawgamps.com for more info.
