I can tell you what Sunon told me they no longer manufacture
KDE1235PFB1-8. So the fans you are buying from Allied are 'old stock'.

Another interesting item, is that the fans may deteriate with age while
in stock, Sunon recommends that fans stored for more than 6 months,
be functionaly tested before shipping.
