Hello everyone-
I currently have a rear projection with the convergence problem and I've ordered replacements parts. But to prolong the life of whats left of the tv, I want to install a cooling fan in the rear panel.
Can someone recommend a standard/common 6"+/- cabinet cooling fan with standard wall socket plug that I can install in the back cover of the tv with maybe a switch I can install back there as well?
looked at fry's and all they have are fans that would require plugging into the board somewhere and I have no idea how to do this.
Thanks in advance

I have this 4 inch AC fan(Seen Here) that hangs in the back on this slanted slide out panel that blocks the CRT Lights. Works very well cause its right over top IC chips heat sinks, Also I leave the cover off the back cause its a big improvement on air flow.
If you have little kids or pets like cats mostly cause there explorers, I wouldn't recommend leaving the back off unless you make it safe so something didn't fit back there.
The other thing is I have another TV that I tried that 4 inch AC fan and it interfered with the convergence and made it kinda jumpy that the colors would seperate and line back up, So I got a 12volt DC fan and a universal ac adapter Like this and spliced the wires and it worked and didnt interfere.
I got the 4 inch Massey fan at walmart and If you go the DC fan way I got the AC Adapter from walmart and DC fan had laying around but radioshack should have them.
THANKS!
That's was really helpful and exactly what i needed.
