IIgs System saver...replacement fan

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good replacement fan for the IIgs system saver? Mine sounds like a sherman tank and getting worse! Link to an online source would be appreciated. I just finished removing the fan...looks pretty cheaply made.

Thanks
Jim

Digi-key stocks a replacement

Digi-key stocks a replacement Sprite SU2B1 that apparently fits. It may be possible to cut the noise and extend its live by giving the fan a small amount of lubrication - silicon based for preference, but 3-in-1 in a pinch.

It'd certainly be easier if it were a more common 12V PC fan.

SU2B1

29.00 bucks...not bad. Thanks for the info.

Better one....

I replaced mine with one from Radio Shack. Perfect fit. Twice the CFM's and so quiet, you don't think it is running.

Radio Shack

Ended up grabbing two from Radio Shack. The system saver is running quite once again.

Thanks
