Ray,
     This might be a good opportunity to utilize  3D printing to make a 
better designed plastic fan at a reasonable price.

I  probably don't need to defend myself, but I was saying that IF the
original  design is "terrible" by modern standards as some have suggested, a
modern  fan design run at a slower speed might save us some horsepower and
retain  more or less the same cooling efficiency.  This sounds better than
an  electric fan that doesn't cut it to me, but the price would have to  be
reasonable.  I'd think this would probably mean a plastic fan,  since I
suspect lightweight alloy would be expensive to manufacture, but  todays
plastics are far better than those available in the  60's.
