The blower # in the 4-K manual is Henry part #00 49101. It is rated at 325
cfm. It is a 230 volt 1500 rpm unit.

The ones I have repaired/operated did 2200 watts with 65 watts drive. If the
tracking has gone out of adjustment, this would cause low output. You will
need a service manual to properly adjust all the coils/capacitors to track
properly from 3-30 mhz. This is not difficult but a little time consuming.
