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.
