An approach that might work is to look in Yellow pages under Electric Motors,
Repairs and Parts (or similar section) and see if there is a motor repait shop
anywhere near you. I know someone that was in the motor repair business and
that included rewinding the coils. I will be seeing that person toward the end
of the month and will ask some questions of him.
It seems amp mfrs are using small mfrs of blowers and possibly get special runs
which later become unobtainium. If anyone has success getting a blower rebuilt
please ask if they will accept these small jobs from others and then publish
info. I have a noisy blower in a TITAN-425 that may be needing repair/rebuild
soon.

Subject: [Amps] Ten Tec Titan II Blower Replacement?
The blower in the Titan II amp at PJ2T has died, and direct replacements are
not available
from any source. The blower is not marked for manufacturer, model, or CFM (or
other)
ratings
What have others used to substitute? I know that there have been some using
squirrel cage
blowers through dryer hose. What are the ratings of blowers used successfully?
Out high ambient temperatures on Curacao (typically between 90 and 100 degF in
the shack
during contest operation) makes amplifier cooling pretty critical!
