Hi all,
Sound Proofing
Has anyone undertaken a 'sound proofing' project on a SB-9A with a sheet metal cabinet??
When running mine I think it is rather noisy compared with a Boxford of a friend of mine. The Boxford seems to have havier gauge sheet used in its cabinet so it doe not act so much as a resonator as the SB does. Anyones experience such as materials used etc. would be highly appreciated.
Noisy Belt
Another anoying sound comes from the belt. Each and every time the link passes the pulley it thumps. Are there any other belts I can use that minimize the noise?? What should be the max width of the belt?? Mine is a little wider than the pulley which seems wrong to me.
Thanking you in advance,
Piet Butter
