I picked up the ten blower wheels today and they look great.? ?All have been spoken for.? A special thanks to Mark, WB0IQK who knew a ham that was able to machine the hubs to fit the motor.
I've attached a picture of a machined wheel to this posting.? These are the exact form and fit of the Drake OEM wheels.? ?I did some research on this blower wheel and found that Torrington orignally supplied these to GE for refrigerators in the early-mid sixties.? ?Guess it is no conicidence that the motor is also made by GE!
Next month I will be making another batch of 10-20 of these replacement blower wheels.? The cost will be in the 35-40 dollar range, shipped.? At this cost, I am not making any money - rather doing this to keep these classic amplifiers running.??
I will be sending out emails to those that contacted me last month for one.
