A thermister, a couple of tubes, transformers, and an assortment of other components, and I'll bet someone could design a variable-speed fan that would regulate the temperature within a degree or two.  Maybe it could use another 3TF7 to regulate the filaments on the circuit so that changes in the line voltage would not affect the temperature regulation.
