He also has the stock replacement for the Al-1500 a little cheaper. But I wanted the black blower thought it looks better and more cooling.

Nomad the blower is the upgrade for the Al-1500 ameritron .
The best price I've found is From Tom at CTR Engineering.

Boy does this fan blow! At 56cfm it should keep the 8930 very cool.
Got the new face vynle installed.
This one got the bias adj on the front band switch. Someone had removed the band switch. I prefer it on the back as I set it and forget it!
Notice the extra board in the bottom. Installed...
Got the new blower mounted.
Took some nibbling to make a square hole. I really hate to do this but in the end it won't be seen and will be a big improvement in keeping the new 8930 tube cool.

Looking at the size in the diagram it might just be able to be made to work.
35cfm is better then the...
Wow my old thread from years back. I wish I would have never sold that old glen renegade 2k. Oh well I now own two glen custom 2400b amps. But boy oh boy that Renegade would look nice next to them.
Been a big fan and user of Nomad boards. He is such a asset to this radio hobby.
His keying circuit is so simple to install. Saved me from trying to figure out this wackadoodle keying used in this transel nitro 300. Not fun to remove this main board.
I see him helping others out all the time...
I'd be interested in trying one out. No problem guying it.
A fellow about 45 miles from me in Indiana made a collinear antenna and had a hell of a signal.
This Italy antenna looks easier to put up.
