[TenTec] Quieting fan

[Ken Brown]

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.
