4-5 W in an object the size of the SB3 will definitely keep it warm. The SB3 gets warmer than the SB2 - the case is smaller, there's hardly any free air and no ventilation at all, it's a direct radiator. Also most of that 4-5 W is going to the display (VFD), keeping the cathode filaments red-hot. Take a look at the unit in the dark with brightness set to 0. Those filaments are radiating heat much more directly than the circuitry inside. -- Mark Lanctot 'Sean Adams' Response-O-Matic checklist, patent pending!'
