RE: controller cooling



Why don't you just use a heater core any auto junkyard.  You can pick and
choose a size to fit you needs, they are light, are made to carry
water/ati-freeze, easy to find, and cheap.

It seems to me that fridge coils have very small tubes, possibly too small.
Besides they are way too big (total size).   An oil-cooler from a car (like
an air cooled VW) would probably be better, large tubes and small easy to
use package.
