In a Kenwood receiver. It is steel, not aluminum.

What is its purpose ?

Blast shield so when the caps let go they don't
spread goo onto the nearby circuit. :^)

(Maybe electrostatic shielding it looks to be on the caps right
after the rectifiers???)

I there a fan for forced air cooling? If so, maybe it is for directing
cooling air?

Just another guess.


No there wasn't. This receiver is from the late 70's and had a more
than adequate heat sink. Worked on quite a few of these back in the
day and I don't remember this piece of metal.
