Vladan,
Would you mind sharing where I could find information on pushing the 8341 to 26.5GHz?
Siggi,
I agree with Vladan, the 8341 is heavy but it seems like a very robust machine. Looking inside it seems very repairable and I expect that if I keep mine, I should be able to use it until I reach my expiration date.? I noodled an 8341B off of eBay for $600 and it needed only a replacement battery and the int/ext ref switch replaced.? The seller listed it as-is and I was the lucky fisherman who figured it was worth the risk.? At 76.5lbs it was almost $80 to ship, but I think this one is my keeper unless I find some really good deal on an 8360 series.? In regards to the noise, I think it could be quieted down somewhat with a fan of the same CFM rating but different blade design, I am looking in to this.? I also wonder if a smaller fan could be used if I replaced the internal power supplies with something more modern with higher efficiency, as I believe these are the bulk of the thermal dissipation.
