[Kenwood] Fans for TS850S and PS53

Wed Sep 3 13:07:03 EDT 2008

Hello Peter,
I'm not sure whether either of the fans can be lubricated but if they can, have you tried this first? I'm sure both fans can be cleaned with canned air and a cloth or vacuum cleaner. Most fan problems, not all, are caused by a build up of dust and dirt.
I had a Kenwood TS-930 and one of the two fans was very noisy. A light drop of WD-40 on a cotton swab, pressed against the bearing fixed the problem. I did the same thing with my Yaesu FT-757GX which had a much noisier fan than the TS-930. Worked both times and saved a lot of time and money. 
Just a thought.

It is time to replace the fans in my TS850S and PS-53, as they have become
increasingly noisy. Apparently the fans needed are no longer available. For the
transceiver: Panaflo OL06BO-1, model FBK-08A12H. For the power supply: PANASONIC
OF13BO-1 Model FBK-08A12H.
Can anyone help?
