Leo was quite fond of tinkering with his circuit designs, often right on the production line. Thus, many schematics do not accurately depict what's actually in an amp -- especially the older "woodies" and TV-front tweeds.

I just wonder were Marsh saw the actual amp then, cause nobody else seems to have. :D

Another one of those "$64,000 questions", for sure.

:roll:

Marsh does build a good product (I've seen one of his 6G6-A Bassman clones "disemboweled") but I too would be leery of someone making such a nebulous assertion.

Did you finally isolate and fix it (I hope)?

I retightened the panel screws while pushing the panel firmly against the rest of the cab. The noise is still there but not near as noticeable. When I play and push firmly against the panel near the top it goes away completely.
