H720 PSU?

The fans in an 11/45 are plain 110V ones (even in the UK, they're run off 
the primary of the mains transformer acting as an autotransformer). I 
suspect the 11/40 is the same.

It's the 11/44 (a much later machine) that has odd fans -- 35V 70Hz or 
something. They run off a transistorised full-H driver circuit in the 
PSU, so they can be run off the backup battery.

You may find that +8V is used eleewhere. I remember a +8V supply for the 
lamps on the KM11, and it may be used by the front panel lamps.
