[TenTec] Power Supply temperature

[Dave Edwards]

OK...Here's the scoop.
My rig is in the basement....a bit chilly down there.
At start, the heat sink is 53, the top of the cabinet is 54, and so is 
the speaker grille.

After an hour of receiving, the cabinet top is 68, the speaker is 64 
(both still feel cold) and the heat sink is 86. So, to the touch...the 
heat sink feels room temperature to slightly above.
I have one of those IR non contact jobs to measure the temp.
Hope that helps.
....Dave
