Thanks Gary. This thing was at 100 deg C about 45 minutes after turn on. (on the top of the heatsink) Finally I shut it down. I must have a good BU517 in there, because it held. This thing shows no sign of any stretching or bowing in. Gonna have to check for a leaky diode, or Cap this morning. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek2@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary McCartney" <gary@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 11:50 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: CTC187 (32") > I've measured two different CTC 187 chassis (31") for the temperature of > the HOT after running an hour.
