OK
Dont know if anyone here is an A/C tech or not and I sure as hell aint one.
As they say the proof is in the pudding.
Talked to the electric guy at Home depot and he said there is no way the rotary switch will work either, what is needed is a way to vary the frequency not the voltage and the little Radio crap fans are not made to run at variable volts or frequency although if I go to a specialty shop that deals in control curcuits they may have some type of controller that may do the job.
Alot of mights and maybe's and I know the place he is talking about, want a fuse? We have a $25 minimum invoice charge.

Well Since I do have a spare 12 volt converter and all I would be out is the money I spent on fans and swithes, I believe the time has come to go back to 12 volts.

Pity converter is gonna have to go outside the case ( not enough room) . At least with 12 volts I know I can build a totally automated fan system where no external control will be needed.

Oh well back to Rad Shack for a bunch of pieces parts and start building the control network.

Should have the cooler box completed by next weekend and the blocks will be in the following week. I will post some pics of the final creation when I get it finnished ( not sure what I am gonna do with the face plate since now it has 3 slider switches in it that have to come out) . Hmmmm Maybe LED readouts for Res temp, feed temp and return temp? Just thinking out loud
