Hi Larry,
  Back in the 1950's, Hughes created the kilowatt HACON amplifier, for use on 
the B-58 Bomber, which had 4x 4CX250 family finals, with large finned radiators 
in lieu of the standard air fins, autotuned in a not quite cubic foot package, 
filled with one of the DuPont $600/gallon ... fluids.

 Having run out of "important"
 projects, I've been toying with starting a 
 "fun" project just for the heck of it.
 
 The key words in the project description are:
 
 Unusual
 Unique
 Weird
 Wacky
 
 and last but certainly not least:
 
 CHEAP
 
 Several amp concepts have been running around in my old head
 but one in 
 particular keeps coming back around. So with that background
 in mind, 
 here's the question:
 
 Has anyone water cooled a 4CX250? Or oil cooled for that
 matter.
 
   Discussion??
