- I was wondering if anyone has experience replacing the Centurion fan. My fan is old and has a bearings problem so it is time to replace. I'd like to take the opportunity to replace with a high-CFM ra

- Rob, I am the second owner of this amp and don't know its age. It is the grey model. I can certainly look up the serial number when I am back to VE3 where my contesting QTH is. As far as mode goes, m
