The FAN is the original ALPHA ALL I am trying to do is REPLACE the MOTOR
that TURNS the BLADE. In this case a squirrel fan arrangement blower ....
The NEW motor shaft fits good, shaft length is good.

The unavailabality to get this information on a replacemnet motor
befuddles me... WHY THE BIG SECRET???????????????

If ALPHA can not PROVIDE/SELL me the MOTOR why hide the SPECS
so I can replace it. It's like I am the only ONE NEEDING of these motors.
YET ALPHA is aware of the need as they are trying to get them.
BUT as of last word the BATCH that came in DOES NOT SUIT there
quality..... I don't want to be pushy and call and ask for a AMP god...
all I want is a little common courtsy and customer service help.


I guess all I can do is buy 3-4 $30 dollar motors and RUN them in the 91b
and see what happens... ONE AT A TIME.

QUESTION?   If you were to guess WHAT RPM would be the best bet.
I make the final decsion based on all responces and experiences of 
searching and tests.
BUT as a NOVICE non engineer type.. just a technician bee..... this all 
I can do
to try and reslove this problem.
I think ALPHA isn't going to tell me the excact information.
If you know someone there I can speak too please tell me.
