I have looked into cooling fans. The only set I have one on is a CTC-5 due to the rarity of the FLY. One thing to remember about vintage TV's do NOT leave them on unattended, even for just a few minutes. They are WAY past any expected use date and the flys were an issue even back when new. The concern I have over forced air cooling is IF the fly still manages to overheat, you will have a blow touch on your hands. The flys tend to be in a confined steel box I presume on reason was safety, as in fire containment. Adding the fan pumping oxygen to a burning lump of tar will really stoke the flames.
