On the topic of noisy FCBs, here a recent post from the FCB yahoo
group on the same topic....

I have a relatively old FCB1010 which doesn't hum and a fairly new one
which does. Comparing both, I found this:

On the old one, the transformer is attached with a screw, a spring, a
washer and a nut.

On the new one, the transformer is attached with a screw, a much
cheaper spring, no washer and a nut.

Go figure...
