Surprisingly it is from a local (Vancouver B.C.) van. Though there is the ocean air aspect here on the coast. And there was a grease pen number on the shroud. Maybe PO got it from a wrecker. It works fine on both speeds when fired up on the battery charger and the squeek isn't that bad. That's a kind offer. Do you think that even though my fan works, it may be a waste of time? Thanks.
