I bought it. Works like a dream, but it's always something. The fan is bad. I'll replace it with two I had lying around. Just wondering about what is best. Should the air flow go from within and out or outside and in. Believe it tends to be from inside and out?
Thanks for any reply. Have a nice Sunday folks

Where are the vents located? If they are underneath then you want the fan to blow out of the back of the machine, this will effectively suck cold air up though the base of the set displacing the hot air as it travels past the transformer then out the back.

By the way you would be better replacing that fan with like for like, it's ducted and will be more efficient than those two little fans you're looking to put in.
Tech Arc can supply the fan, just tell them the diameter of the fan you need.

That's one funny way of striking up an arc (peeping under your visor)
I agree with Jim, that fan motor looks like bog standard refrigeration condenser / evaporator cooling fan. really easy to get? Try your local Air conditioning place / online refrigeration parts sites. Probably around 25 Watts. They're usually not that expensive. Might be worth changing it instead of faffing about modifying to suit the two.
just a thought.

I agree the big fan will be far more efficient IMO Coz you wouldnt want to cook those meaty Diodes (?) and the ducting is designed to flow the air in the correct path.
