Thanks for the help on reducing the noise of a Mac II to acceptable levels.
I just (3 hours ago) replaced the fan by a Radio Shack/Tandy/Archer
273-243B (which exactly matches the specs of the 273-243A) and it works
without any problems. I used a 1/10" spaced circuit board edge connector for
a plug. No heat problems so far. The hottest part of the machine is the
hard disk, and it is only about 45 degrees celcius (113 degrees farenheit).
The fan costs fl.49,50 in the Netherlands, about 50% more than in the USA.
The instructions I received from Dave Platt (dplatt@coherent.com) are
very detailed. One tip: the fan comes out easily if the spacer is moved
towards the circuit board so the edge of the fan can touch the metal casing.
