Rather than repair the old resistor network, etc. etc.

Has anyone considered using a PWM (Pulse Width Modulator) instead? Fully
adjustable ('infinite' speed adjustment), cheap, works well (I installed one
on my GT40) and no extra heat dumped into your cabin due to heating up
resistors.

Just wondering... I plan to put one in my Pantera soon.
