Spencer Turbine Blower

You'll need to know a bit more about the blower you're wanting to
replace other than just the horsepower!  There are differences in
specifications of the static pressure that can be generated by a blower
of this size.  There should be a nameplate on the blower housing.  The
diameter of the housing, referred to as the "drum", is important also!

You'll probably have your best success posting a want ad on Jerrell
Kautz's Theatreorgans page; the URL is http://theatreorgans.com/
From the main menu, you should be able to find the link to get to
the classifieds ad.  There's no charge for this.

Wish I could help you out, but the largest Spencer I have in my
inventory is 7.5 HP!

What are you going to do with it afterward??

Be warned, however: these large blowers do NOT come cheap!  It also
takes some heavy rigging movers to get them dismantled and then
re-assembled!

While you're there, you could visit my Web-Page also!  The URL is

Good Luck!
