mybass Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Would anybody know where I can get PA/amp fan from? The band have a Samson PA amp that is distributed or owned by Hartke, who are distributed in the UK by Hal Leonard (publishing!).....hence, I’m getting nowhere trying to replace a noisy amp fan that starts up when power is switched on, runs for a few minutes then stops working. I have another fan on order from Real Electronics ( for MarkBass) but they don’t seem to know if they can get one for the Samson. Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Find out the size and voltage, and airflow if possible, and the collective might of Basschat will help you out, I'm sure! Quote
mybass Posted March 21, 2018 Author Posted March 21, 2018 On the fan it has ........Mode rdh 8025s. 12v the amp is a SAMSON XML610. 600WATTS. Quote
Norris Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Height, width and depth? Or even a photo? Edited March 22, 2018 by Norris Quote
mybass Posted March 22, 2018 Author Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Norris...can you get Samson parts then? I'll have to take it apart to do that, all those damned screws! Edited March 22, 2018 by mybass Quote
Norris Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 Any fan of the correct dimensions, voltage and air flow should do the job. They are usually pretty standard parts, but to source a replacement you are going to need to know the specifications of the existing fan. If you find those out, I'm sure someone will be able to direct you to a suitable replacement 1 Quote
mybass Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 thanks Norris, I've asked Real Electronics who service Markbass amongst other manufacturers and Im still waiting for a reply from Hal Leonard/Hartke/Samson on getting one. Spare parts, drive me mad! cheers. Quote
stevel Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) The size was in the clue... 8025 = 80 (80mm square) 25 (25mm deep). And it's 12v. Current might vary a little, but shouldn't have much effect. So, it's one of these then: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/X-Fan-RDH8025S1-80-x-80-x-25mm-Axial-Fan-12V-Sleeve-Bearing/112777521421?hash=item1a4210690d:g:TfQAAOSwBOlahBNM £7.58, free postage. Bargain.

mybass Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Brill, thanks Steve, I couldn't find it when I looked on Ebay! I'm pretty certain it is that make too but I will double check. Cheers Edited March 30, 2018 by mybass Edit Quote
mybass Posted March 30, 2018 Author Posted March 30, 2018 Fan bought off EBay and fitted. I had to unsolder the old fan wires off as they had the right size clip lug for connection to the board. I finally got a reply from ‘Samson’ saying no parts available anymore because it’s a discontinued model. Thanks for the heads up Steve. Quote
