[Drakelist] Fan on R4B

[Richard Knoppow]

    Its too hot in Los Angeles so decided to try the fan I 
made up for my T4XB on the receiver. It works like a charm. 
The R4B tends to run hot anyway, I put the fan on top of the 
cabinet, over the power transformer, blowing out. It keeps 
the cabinet quite cool and even the transformer stays 
reasonably cool. This is about a 5" AC fan just connected to 
the line though a power cord switch. I will have to build 
another so I have one for each unit.
    This fan makes very little noise. I wrapped some foam 
type weather stripping around the case so it sits on the 
foam. This both seals it to the cabinet and cushions any 
vibration.
