I had an old oil cooler that developed a leak, replaced it and let the old one drain out the oil.
My Channel Master Titan 7777 amplifier would get hot in the attic in the summer heat and I though a heat sink would solve the problem.
Months later I was sorting out junk into the scrap and picked up the old oil cooler and had an idea :idea:

Now I need to mount a small cooling fan with a left over thermostat switch.

Now my wife can watch her daytime OTA TV.

She does not want to pay for cable or dish.
