Back Cover For My RCA Victor

[Doug_90]

Well, for the interim I got some 1/8 foam core board. I think it does make the radio sound better. While the radio was playing I touched the back and could feel it vibrating like a speaker cone.



I still have to cut out a couple of vents for the receiver compartment. That's only about 12X12 inches and the rest is just open cabinet space, so thankfully i won't have to do too many cuts to get adequate airflow.

Years ago I rebuilt a guitar amp for this fellow in a band. After I got it going he could still hear a faint vibration. I knew I had the amp rebuilt fine so I had him to play it for me. We found out the case and back cover that was screwd in was vibrating and you could hear it. To solve that issue I used some weatherstripping foam between the cabinet and back cover. So if the vibration gets annoying for you then you might could lay a line of the peel and stick roll of foam weatherstripping to get it to stop.
