Hi,

I lost the message that I am referring to. Someone said they put a resistor in series with the fan motor in order to make it run quieter. How do you determine that there is still sufficient air flow to properly cool the tubes? What about in a warmer time of year? What if you (or future owner of the amplifier, or would it be ampli-fire) moved to a higher altitude QTH and left the resistor in circuit? I understand the desire to make the amplifier run quieter, but obviously there are other important considerations. You could just disconnect the fan altogether and it would be silent, but of course then it would not perform it's intended purpose.
