ok, so i have these decades old fans, probably as much as 40 yrs old,
maybe more, they work fine until last night one of them was going very
very slow even though on high. I really like them, they are quiet and
go with my 1871 house. When i stopped it and start it from a dead stop
it just goes about 2 degrees cw then 2degrees ccw. if i give it a spin,
it proceeds to run very slowly. Does this sound like something that
could be fixed?


What brand?
Does it have a pc board?


I ask because I had (and still do have) 20 year old Casablanca that did
stuff you described. Based on model number, got a replacement board from
Casablanca for $17. 40 years old, much less likely to have a board.



uhhhh.... no pc board. LOL!
