Fan on Amp Unbeatable

So, I have an older amp from the 70s. It's a solid state amp and the fan is so loud it's distracting. It's my first largest solid-state amp. I've been using tube amps for the last 15 plus years. I can't imagine fans are supposed to be overwhelming Lee loud. Has anybody else ran into this kind of issue and if so, how did you fix it?

@pawlowski6132 - I can't stand any audio equipment with a fan. The noise reduces the S/N ratio tremendously.
If your amp really is worth big bucks (as @mrdecibel says), my suggestion is, sell it and start fresh. There are a lot of great modern SS amps around, and very few have fans.
