Fixing a Fan
Any of you have experience with repairing electric motors? Is it something relatively easy to do or should I try to find a new motor instead?
Here is the back story. Several years ago, my wife bought this fan at a flea market for a few dollars. It was “broken” in the sense that it no longer oscillated. One of her great-uncles fixed it and gave it a new paint job. It worked great until a lone plastic sack got sucked into the fan, wrapped around the blade & shaft jamming it, and the motor burned out before we noticed.
Suggestions?

Really? I didn't even know that place was there. Cool. Thanks for the tip!
