I have two stereo amplifiers used for amplifying televisions, computers, hand held cd players and anything else you could think of. I tore the guts out of these two units with the intention of creating two COMPACT amplifiers that I can install under my utility table that I use for my "base of operations" (that's where I have my pc, phone, t.v. cable convertor box, tape recorders, FAX machine, calculator, photocopier etc). I notice in both of these amplifiers a metal plate bolt and nutted to a what I am assuming are transistors which in turn are clearly soldered to the electrical circuitry. At the point where the plate(s) are nut and bolted there are thin plastic gaskets which are coated with what looks like the office supply product "White Out". Will anyone tell me the purpose of these metal plates etc? Thank you.
