Servo and Fan Replacement

Hey guys, I've had my heatermeter for a number of years. I notice that my fan and servo aren't working properly. Anyone have a link to where I can get replacements? The fan that Bryan shipped worked great until recently, but I've never had a truly reliable servo.

Thanks!
 
Mouser has the blower BFB0512VHD-F00 but I always also check the non-F00 version to see if it is cheaper. It just lacks the RPM sense wire which we don't use. The servo I ship is an SG90, and they are always hit or miss. Sometimes they work for years, sometimes a week, some are DOA. MG90S are slightly different size, so whatever you have make sure you get the same model.
 
Most probably not that useful to AJones; just sharing my experience: after various experiences and struggles with cheap servo's, I "stole" the steering servo out of my son's 1/8th HPi nitro buggy which was sitting in a box for many years since he moved in his own house. That servo is a beast, (of course much larger physically than the MG90S) and working flawlessly for the last +-2 years on my DIY damper setup. For a fan, I am using a blower fan out of a scrapped HP server!

If looking for a quality MG90S servo, the one sold by Vorpal Robotics is very good. I've had no issues with them, and they are actually made by TowerPro for Vorpal, and probably have a bit more quality control than others.

Vorpal Brand MG90 Micro Servo (Made by Tower Pro)

We worked directly with Tower Pro to create the Vorpal MG90 servo. You get genuine Tower Pro quality in a servo optimized for our robotics projects. We also test every servo ourselves and reject defective servos (about 2%), so what you're getting is higher quality than even what comes from the...
