Awsome thanks for that zeropoint.Yeah i should have said zx450 v2 and zx500 v1 i do have a mint zx350 v1 i could take fan out of but seems though that replacement is cheap and amp is under false floor fan noise not such an issue

Re: Servicing a zx500,what should be done?

Ok, I'm not using the 450 yet was thinking I may use the v2 fan out of that but don't really want to do that as its in very nice original condition so would be better if I can find something new. I have looked around but not found voltage/airflow settings for fan yet so if you know that would be great
