Yes, steel chassis can be both good and bad.  It likes to conduct magnetic fields, so you have to treat things appropriately.  A little spacing under a choke can go a long way.  Otherise you have a 120Hz motor.  I have another tri...

I bought the Lundahl chokes for L1 and was not able to us them and they were insultingly sharp. For the L1 you would need more henries and more DCR, the higher DCR will sound better and the “bad” and “cheap” Hammond chokes worked very fine.  You...
