Macintosh Classic II fan

I'm about to crack into my new Mac Classic II and do all sorts of upgrades and fixes: Cap exchange, 256MB HDD, 10MB ram, and a new battery (I'm stuck in 1956). I'm thinking it might be nice to swap this insanely loud fan with something more modern and quiet. I know I can just open it and see what it is, but I just want to get everything done in one go. Anyone know what the size and specs of this fan are? None of the repair literature mentions it.

 
Don't change the fan unless the air flow is the same, there's a reason the fan is noisy - it really needs to push that hot air out of the case. Same with the PSU on the Quadra series, use the one that is there, it's really important in the long run.

 
As someone who built PCs for years I understand airflow. The fan is noisy because it's from 1992 and, just like the caps, they didn't necessarily use the best materials. We do have better options now with the same capabilities.

So, do you know the size? Thanks!

 
So here it is:

Canon CF60 T214N3D

12 Vdc 70 ma

60 mm / 7 blades fan

this is the original fan reference,and apparently you can still found that same reference new ... but pretty expensive :?:
