Yes, Hancock52, the funnel nozzles are a really tight fit into the holes - when I first took the board out of its bag, there were very small strings of fragments of board resting against the funnel nozzles protruding over the heating elements - they must have used some sort of press to insert the nozzles into the board causing the fragments - that has got to be a headache for those repairing the units.
Regarding the fan motors, the old units have the negative black leads soldered to the white dot terminals and I am thinking that would make the fans spin CW with the convex part of the blades facing the direction of spin - I will verify that before soldering.
Update: upon later investigation, the NEW motors produce CCW rotation with the black lead attached to the white dot terminal with the concave part of the fan doing the pushing thru the air channel to the wick chamber. Am not sure what direction the fan spins on the old motors with the black lead currently attached to the white dot.
