Hi Tim, Replacing the blower on the L-4B is not brain surgery. It is easy to do yourself. Be sure the caps in the PS are discharged by leaving the rig off for 15 minutes or so. Disconnect the power supply from the power source. Disconnect all the connectors on the rear panel and take the cover off. There is no danger of shock since the power supply is disconnected and there are no caps in the RF deck which will hold a charge. You will see how easy it is. Rather replace the blower yourself than risk shipping the deck. You may be able to fix the original blower once you have it removed from the deck. Should you decide to ship it, do remove the tubes and chimneys and keep them at home. Never ship the deck with those items in place. Doing so invites disaster. 73, John, W4AWM In a message dated 9/18/2013 8:25:18 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
I have a noisy blower in my L4B, not the motor itself but the fan I think touching the side of the amp case. I have a replacement blower if the original cannot be fixed. I'd like to send the RF deck to someone along with the second blower for repair, any recommendations as to who will do this work or is there anyone out there doing this work?
