Okay, ship that to me so I can do some quality assurance testing on it. I should have it back to you in a couple of years.

If you've got a beer swilling trunk monkey running sound, sometimes you do have to resort to physical violence to get your point across.

That's slightly unfortunate, as i was hoping to fix it on my own. I cannot find a single picture online of what the actual piece looks like unfortunately
Sometimes, you just have to bite the bullet. Be glad your nearest Authorized Fender Service center isn't in a neighbouring country - if anything happens to any of my Rumbles I have to ship'em to Sweden!
Fender won't sell you the part anyway, as they only sell to authorized dealers and service centers. Here's a link to the schematic.

Now I got to ask you Linnin,
Since this one is a 1997 model and the seller says that he used it quite a bit in gigging and it never got hot on him, do you presume that the Fender Custom shop figured out the issue with the cooling fan with the later ones that left the shop?

WOOT!
Yes, they did. So you have one of very last ones made. Call Fender and see if they know exactly how many were made. They should. You've got a seriously historic and rare rig there. A toast in your honor, sir! Cheers!
Thank you sir and thank you sir!
When I get it all together.. I will take a good outdoors sunny shot of the stack.. I will also call Fender and see what they allow.. Whom would I call.. just Fender or do I need to talk to someone in the Custom Shop?

Send Fender a shot via email to [email protected] You'll get a better response if you also call and alert them to it. Be sure your photo will be passed around. A lot. Ask for Bob Willocks, he's the department manager and also a bass player. You can see him along with Dave Lewis in some of the NAMM videos.
Awesome! Thank you much! Will do.. will be glad to let you all know what I find out too!
Thank you for the schematic Linnin. Sadly, it does not indicate wether the connector is a 4-pin or 2-pin. The gentleman I spoke with at fender customer service was very helpful in getting me the information about the connection type, but not in what it physically is.
Highlighted in the schematic is the troublesome piece; I believe it to just be a 4-pin connector but with the splitting of the wires towards the speaker and tweeter i could reason it being. two separate connectors similar to the ones found in an old PA head
If only i could get my hands on asecond Rumble 150 to take a peek inside. (then i could definitely be a member of this club)
That makes the full set?
Well done!
Yes.. that will complete the stack as it came out of the shop!
You are already member #659
Take your Rumble to a technician. If it is only a connector and some wire and he is honest, it won't take long or cost much.
Very excited for you. I can't wait to see it all together. If I were you, I would never let that rig go. You have some major bragging rights right there. I'd love to hear that rig in action.
Well I will try my best to help on the hearing it when I get it all together! I may be putting my SVT up for sale sometime soon..
I am just freaking out.. just about fell outta my chair! I just looked and seen that the Cards swept the Cubs! I am in total shock right now!
