The fan I used was a rescue item from some old computer power supply, most 
likely.  It is about 4 or 4-1/4 inches square.

No, I just hooked a lamp cord to it and plugged it in. When I make 
improvements to the system, I'll power it from the radio and most likely 
reduce the voltage, or even use a smaller fan inside the radio mounted on a 
clamp-on bracket for a no-holes addition.
