One learns something new every day I guess. Out of the 7 Pal Rev 1 DCs I had so far, this was the first to have a metal fan. I assume they used these fans early on at the start of Rev 1 models before switching to the plastic fans for the rest of the production, so my guess is they didn't make too many of these.
