Hi,

Thanks very much for the response.  I hadn't even thought to look at
vendor's sites for a replacement.

Looking at the GoWesty fan retro-fit, it just looks like a good quality
computer fan.  Is this what you are on the 2nd one of?  Or was the first
one just a "regular" computer fan?

At a minimum, the GoWesty web page gives me all the specs I was looking
for.  I actually don't like how they mounted it, but it does give me
info about orientation.

Cheers,
Steve W.
