Hi Dean
Thank you. I have been looking over the fan installation. I have a
good solder removal tool, plus solder wick. Actually I think I did ok
for $225 for the scope. The jitter is minimal, though I want to clean
it up.
Is there any plan for replacing capacitors? I have seen reference to
this a few times.
I am still waiting for my manual from Fair Radio Sales in Ohio. The
manual is a photo copy and I think they copy an original when an order
is sent in. I ordered the manual via their web page but there response
is not as fast as Radio Shack or Newark Electronics.
What is happening to Windsor's Email? When I try to respond to his
message I get an answer back that the address does not exists.

Rich,
You'll find that the fan motor is a circuit unto itself. The motor
itself is brushless and has several Hall-effect sensors inside for
input to the drive circuitry. I've replaced motors before, and it
isn't too bad. Step 1: Clip the motor leads close to the board
before desoldering so that they don't get in the way of your
desoldering tool. Step 2: Make sure your solder sucker has LOTS of
hard suction. Relube the o-ring inside with silicone grease if
necessary.
