Steve,
The MRC CM20,is the older version,with the fan,,newer versions don't have that and a lot of the electronics,in the newer versions also were changed. Unfortunately,if you have your heart set on purchasing,one or two more,,good luck,,,they stopped making them...For whatever reason,,I think the newer ones were the best they ever made...Sometimes they are on E-Bay,,but the seller probably wants an arm and leg for them..
Good Luck,
Cheers,
Frank
