Yeah, I actually have an early SE that used to have the squirrel-cage fan, but I removed it and installed the later-type box fan (I still have the old one, though). For authenticity, I guess I could put it back? I also kept the old type CRT board (the one that went with the squirrel-cage equipped SEs), so I could put it back to a stock configuration if I wanted to.
And, ever notice that some SE/30s have black switches and power cord sockets, while others have platinum ones? I suspect either one of two things are at work here: 1) early SE/30s might have the black switch and port, and later ones have platinum, or 2) SE/30s with black switches and ports have had their power supply and/or analog board replaced by one from an SE. What do you think? I think 2 is more plausible, but who knows?
