Is the fan in the Atari System 1 cab AC or DC? I don't have the info handy this second so I thought I'd ask here. Anyone know this answer? I'd like to purchase a replacement that doesn't sound like a jet.

Actually, even better, anyone have a specific replacement they have been happy using?

Why don't you just measure what's going into your fan right now? AC voltages will read as 0V with your DMM in DC mode. (AC, it varies depending on the meter, so start with DC.)

That said, I don't know if I'd replace that fan with something that has a lower CFM. They used such a powerful fan for a reason...
 
BTW, it's 120V AC...

I haven't got a replacement yet, but wanted to post here for others.

My Indiana Jones doesn't even have a fan! It was the first game I ever bought 2 years ago and have never had an issue with it. I've got to look into that...
