I've got a Dayton 4C765, same form factor as the FA7, 24v 130 mA, ball bearing, brushless, 35CFM. It still moves a fair amount of air at 12v. Too bad mine has noisy bearings, it's a nice little fan. I figured out how to take it apart, a little Mobil 1 in the bearings helped a bit. If I could find some replacement bearings that are the right size, I'd use it. I never understood the AC fan bit. A DC fan can easily be powered from the radio, base or mobile. An AC fan is a doorknob if running mobile. Maybe they were just a lot cheaper at the time. -- Jim Shorney -->.<--Put complaints in this box jshorney (at) inebraska.com Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, NE, USA EN10ps http://incolor.inetnebr.com/jshorney/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
