Leonard,

Out of curiosity, is your fan blowing in or out?  Lo these many years ago, I 
put an exhaust fan on the back of my HRO-50  (Hank Pfizenmayer will remember it 
as the one used at W4VIV/W4RXK in the Greater Cincinnati area in the early 
50's).  I taped up the vent louvers on the back of the receiver and wound up 
pulling in cool air through the holes behind some of the knobs, around the 
plug-in coil drawer, and so on.  It cut down the slow, warm-up drift almost 
completely.  

Jim, W8KGI
