Default 'buzzing' amp - worth fixing?

I have to say I really like the sound of that. Is it easy to remove &
replace said transformers? I have a feeling dunking it in situ might be
beyond me.

Many transformers don't have any means of tightening them - the core

you may need to find yourself a small G-clamp to fit over the lams,
and just leave it there.


I have previously 'cured' buzzing transformers by dunking them in a
tin of varnish. Is this out of fashion these days?

Anyone trying this does so at their own risk!
