## why bother?   The AL-1500 already comes with a FOUR speed blower ! 
I think the default tap is the lowest setting, for 1.5 kw ssb use. 
There is no switch for the various blower speed settings, they are hardwired
on a terminal strip somewhere.  Just change the tap to a higher speed, something
high enough to do the job.  The highest setting is for RTTY contests. 

Later... Jim, VE7RF
