[Amps] Centurion cooling improvement ideas for AM service

[Will Matney]

Will miracles never cease! I never thought I would see the day a Fluke 
instrument would be that cheap. I figured that being a Fluke would have 
been $350 to $450 dollars. Thanks for the info on this Rich, I may just 
get one of these myself! The model 65 is only $289 and has memory with 
temp conversion. The 61 is really all ones needs without getting extras. 
That would come in handy around the house checking for heat or cooling 
leaks around windows and doors. I would like this for not only checking 
tube temperatures but the temps on transformer coils and cores.
