Peavey 700 Tour Series Head ? Fan issues?

recently got it the Peavey 700 used, plays sounds great, but after 10 mins the fan gets loud ? Anyone else have this problem ? is it a concern ?

Yes, it’s a concern.

Most likely, the ball bearings in the fan are going bad.

Fans are usually easy to replace. Most likely, you can call my good friends at the Peavey parts center and get the exact replacement fan. If they don’t carry it anymore, the specs of the fan should be on there somewhere (CFM, voltage) and find it online, Amazon probably.
