LOL! Yeah, getting rid of the funk is a bonus.
They installed HVAC on the Batfish, but no heater. So, it's like being in an icebox in the winter. The wool blankets come in handy that time of year.
I sent out a few emails to companies selling modern rectifiers to see what the dimensions and price would be for a 250 VDC rectifier. Since they are normally used commercially, I would expect it to be somewhat expensive as opposed to something you could buy at Lowe's or Home Depot as a consumer.
