I do not mind the buzz of a E-unit. That just tells me it is working. Jim- You forgot to mention that all you have to do to eliminate the buzz from a E-unit is to smoke the bees out of it and the Buzzing noise is gone.[;)][:P][:)] One of these days,You'll have to list the Track Plans from BB the Beagle as well! She deserves a Silver Fire Hydrant award for her work.[;)][(-D].

I belive using a rectifier from say radio crack qyuit the buzz. You will need the four post variety I think. Never done it, just heard about it.

the ohter thing is some e units buz more than others..............................Some will just swap them out in hopes that the next one will be quiet.

All of my e-units are getting DC. None of them are magnetized.
