Those hold part of the active EQ electronics in place. This is what it looks like under my MC900NT's hood: I have asked the seller for photos of inside the control area. -Chuck   Guitarwhisperer Username: Guitarwhisperer Registered: 6-2007 Posted on Tuesday, October 02, 2007 - 9:42 pm:    Those big capacitors and primitive looking resistors are what's responsible for the great warmth and useability of the tone controls. The shrunken down microcaps and microresistors sound harsh and sterile compared to these things, and also seem to have more thermionic hiss. Full size components to me sound so much nicer.
