[TenTec] Centaur quiet fan?

[Dave Sublette]

I don't own and never have owned the amp in question. But I bet if 
someone could measure and publish to the reflector the dimensions, 
operating voltage and number of blades of the offending fan, a suitable 
suibstitute could be found. Generally speaking, the more blades on a 
fan, the quieter it is.  Good luck to you who are looking for more quiet 
in the shack I sympathize with you. A quiet shack environment has been 
an item high on my list of requirements for  the "ideal" shack for many 
years.

73,
