Flash exhaust fan

Where is the best place to buy one of those exhaust fans on a flash, one of mine on our Printex flash has quit working (not loose wires) I cannot find any identifying marks on it or measurements but it looks pretty standard.

How old is that flash?

newark.com should have what you need. You will have to figure out what voltage it runs though so put a probe on the other ones and see. Then measure mounting hole spacing and take a guess on CFM?

That is still under warranty.

Call Mr Robert he will fix you up quick.

You can try Grainger and Mcmaster Carr. I have bought them from there. Since it was under warrantee it would be a great time for Printex to step up and send you another one.

Thanks to those that helped in private, I have the info i need to replace the fan. Once I have a replacement fan in hand i am going to disassemble the old one and figure out why it is dead, my thoughts through experience with PC fans is the bearings seized.

Jhead I do not want anything from Printex, not a freaking thing. They lost that chance a while ago and it is not going to change.
