Where might one find a replacement motor for a older box fan

Chris Cook -

Also, I would like to know where to get a replacement motor, as shown in step 4.

Vince Doriean -

Great guide! Upon reassembling, I noticed that the center of the propeller touches the front grill where it says Holmes. Anyone know if they rub on each other by design?

Zeev -

My version of the fan came with a similar cord, however the female end had a bump in the center on the end that latches into the fan. Without shaving that piece off, the plug doesn’t detach without taking it apart and prying it out.
