I need a new fan for my SVT

[Lost Coyotes]

Thanks, Bob.
I had that feelin', so that's how I installed it, but I felt the need to ask just to be sure.

It is a noisy one, though. I'd like to replace it with something quieter. But it's a '72-73 era, and the only changed parts are tubes and caps.

The Rotron fans that I posted some sources and part numbers for in April are not expensive at all and best of all they have the same hole pattern too, so you can swap out the old fan for a quieter one and still be able to return the head to bone stock later with the original 72-73 fan if you want )

I also add a second fan at the opposite end of the head, blowing air back out of the enclosure, and I use an adapter plate to bolt through the existing small holes in the screen. Also reversible later - since they are all 1969 bluelines with the 6146 plate-cap tubes, I did not want to cut mounting-screw holes in the original screen.

I need one of your early 8x10 cabs!

For an early SVT you need two!

BTW, thanks for the emails, I am working on an answer on the most taxing of them, gotta call a friend tomorrow about it first

"For an early SVT you need two!"

Well, OK..twist my arm...


No, I realize that they were a set of two, but I'd be happy with one. The later cab I got just doesn't do it. For ME. YMMV. etc etc.

I'll be a fan of your SVT, Charly..... how do I sign up?

Since the early cabinets had those alnico CTS speakers with the lower wattage, I would think you would need two cabinets for any SVT to get enough power handling? Ted Weber has a clone of those CTS speakers out now and I'd love to build myself a pair of those cabinets for them, but no money at the moment.
