[GreenKeys] How hot is too hot? (Teletype 32)

[Kevin H. Phillips]

I also have an original W.U. Model 32 Telex machine that I use on 
i-Telex.  I did the mod change the loop current.  I leave it on 24/7 
most of the time.  The outside top of the cover gets noticeably warm to 
the touch but I have never done anything to try to cool it down.  The 
board also looks a little "toasty" like yours.  It all seems good.
