Default Protection Diode - Murphy's Law

Now it's Murphy's Law. I got everything put together nicely and
tested the unit -- all fine....

....and then, MURPHY STRIKES AGAIN!...

The motor on the PA Cooling heat sink failed -- and it's no longer
available. I've replaced it with a small brushless motor/fan combo,
and it all fit nicely and runs fine. So much for full restoration!
I guess that with some of the parts no longer avaiable, a total
restoration is out of the question. In any event, I now have a
great rig fully operational -- till something else goes (hopefully
not for a long time).
