I would get one of them if I could find one. My repairman is pretty determined to make this one play well. He says he's got plan A, then B, then C....
I believe a muffin fan will do the trick. I did it with my Hallicrafters 505 and it virtually eliminated the fade problem. Why not have the chassis run cool anyway?! It'll be interesting to see how this one will play. It'll soon be on the bench.
