It also makes an excellent place to insert a thermostat switch to change
blower speeds.

Subject: Re: [Amps] Alpha chimneys
It varies.
With the Alpha 76A and variants, the chimneys just butt up against the
perforated metal in the top of the case.
With the 77* series, they're wrapped conically, (instead of a straight
tube) and the smaller end is clamped to an exhaust pipe.
I like the system. It makes changing out tubes a little more interesting
if the chassis is tight, but keeps the exhaust air controlled.
In my last 8877 I slit the rubber up the side, (for the anode connection
strip) then made a little larger drill hole at the end of the slit to
prevent it from tearing out. After some juggling and clamping the rubber
to the anode cooler with a stainless hose clamp, everyone was happy.

Can someone tell me how Alpha and others that use silicone rubber

on the tubes deal with the tops of the chimneys? Do they just butt

against a perforated section of the top cover, do they exhaust into
the
cabinet, or what? I've looked at many amplifiers with the covers
off, but
I've never noticed!
