Exactly, I know what you mean!!Very impressive! Well done.
Watching the progress and now knowing the option of a 1980 PS board, I've grown sad wondering if I'll see another 1980. Heck, I had three at one time in the shop. Hadn't seen any since the last one left more than a year ago. I want another one so I can tryout the new board.
Many fan options. Maybe right off the power switch with a rectifier, dropping resistor, and fuse. Some small fans have extremely low current draw. I think a small rectifier circuit could be built on a 1" x 1" board. Also some of these small fans are extremely quiet.Sure a fan can be installed, it is a mechanical challenge, I have seen one pic of someone doing so, what does the fan use for a supply, AC or unregulated DC?
I have even suggested to drill an bunch of holes in the back panel to let the heat out and allow for more air to circulate. If it was my 1980 that is what I'd do to start with, to cool the Japanese cooker.
I guess so, Tony sounds familiar.
