Is there something special about this fan? Or
will any fan of the right
dimensions and operating voltage work? DEC rarely used strange fans
(the
11/44 being the obvious exception!), so you might get a generic
replacement that will drop straight in.
I had thought of this, it has a connector that I have not seen before, I
don't know what sort of fan I would need (voltage etc), I probably ought to
take
a look and see if I can replace it as you suggest.
Is this connector fixed on he fan chassis, or on the end of a piece of
cable? If the latter, you can probalby find a way to move the connector
and/or cable to the new fan.
Most built-in connectors on fans are just the solder tags that you could
solder the power leads too. There ware sockets made for some fans that
would push onto these (ot you could use small faston terminals -- DEC
were fond of this trick).
Are there any marking at all on the old Fan?
