There is a pull out in some Sun desk side systems that has about 9 fans
on it. A system that size would sell for very little on eBay because with
it's size and weight, shipping would be significant, hence very low bidding.
Buy one and ask that they pull the fan modules, if they will, and viola,
perhaps
a lot of used fans for a pretty low price.

Hello,
I am restoring an 11/70 with a BA11-F chassis which uses 17
4.7"x4.7"x1.5"
115v muffin fans (as they all do) and need to find a good source for
replacements. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Are these really difficult to obtain? Last time I needed some, just about
every _real_ electronics component supplier stocked them in 12V, 110V and
230V versions. The only problem was the cost!
No, they are just fairly expensive, especially if you need to replace a
large number of them. In my case, the fans in one chassis have seen enough
weather that they have rusted and become frozen in place. I've found a
source for about $10, but that is still a significant chunk of change...
