Re: Further Question on Power Transformer

Mechanical buzzing from ST70 transformers is not all that uncommon.

You can try to tighten the bolts a bit, or mechanically isolate the transformer from the chassis with some rubber washers.

If you can't exchange the new transformer - as a last resort I've heard folks disassemble the transformer and dip the laminations/coils in some shellac and then bake at a low temperature. Personally I've not tried this, but probably would before I'd spend for a replacement - as you'd have nothing to loose.
