Wood Glued to Transformers?

[xrisj]

Just bought a IIC+, and needed to replace tubes and a reverb tank. While the chassis was on the bench, I found a piece of wood glued between the power and choke trannies. The choke reads Mesa 38-15115 EIA606-336. Guessing chunks of wood glued between transformers is not typical build...any ideas on it's purpose? Anyone else ever find such a thing?

Its a stock/OEM thing.

thanks - that's what I figured it's purpose was, but I would have never guessed it's out of the factory that way. A ruler may have helped that... :twisted:

My studio .22 has one. My 50 cal+ doesn't.

My IIC+ also has it. Although it fell out, so it's just stuffed in there with no glue really holding it well in place.
