Nothing alarming, just curious, runs cool with 80 removed.. After a few hours, its quite warm, but i can rest my hand on it. Just wanted to make sure this is normal... Its been awhile since ive ran an 80 yr old on a regular basis.. Thermometer reads 110 degrees on transformer and slowly rising... Is there a maximum operating temp for these?
