Unless you plan to leave it on 24/7 I dont think its needed. They all ran super hot and are still around to tell about it. Ill compare your CCU to mine but that may be a normal Telex CCU.

I have a 33 that has a telephone cradle built into it, and it completely enclosed the CCU. That poor thing is BAKED!

I like the WU logo on the dial too - are you in the US?

if I was to secrete a small fan in there somewhere just to move the heat around... any thoughts about where I could safely steal 5 or 12v from my Teletype?

Hey Jeff - I did a modification to some of the resistors to change from 60 to the 40ma loop current (European) standard used by i-Telex. Apart from the heat, it seems to run i-Telex just fine 😁  Attached is a better photo (red circle where things are hot) ... cheers!

Can you take another pic but zoomed out/farther out?  That looks a lot different than Im used to, I think.

Considering how new those boards look I think youre fine, some of the ones I have are baked to golden brown lol. All depends if the loop current is set properly.
