Hello All,


I was just wondering, seeing how I don't really have any components in my top box besides a florescent light fixture, is there any reason for the fan? I don't even have a florescent fixture over my reels because I replaced it with a cold cathode neon tubes that don't give off much heat. Is there really any other reason for the fan to be there. I don't see it ventilating much from the bottom anyhow as there is not many places for air to get through to the top box.
Thanks,
Tommy

Yes tommy,  You need it for a couple reasons. The first is if you have no fan in the top box on a generic s-2000 you will start to get burn in real bad on the top box glass back glass art coating and it will look like doo-doo.  The second is it pulls the heat off the audio amp board which itself is in a heat sink (for a reason).  Yes you need the fan.  There are some other reasons but those cover the major ones.  Hope that helps some.  B.

Thanks Brian,
That clears up a lot of doubts I was having about leaving the fans on. I got new ones and they are still loud. I figured I might be able to get away with not having them. Whenever you pull hear it is gonna make noise.
Thanks,
Tommy
