If price is controlling issue, **** can the whole shebang and buy
a 20" box fan at end of season price of about $10 from a big box
store and get a beer.


No one said it was the controlling issue. It's just a factor. Don't
see why you don't consider replacing bearings to be a suitable
address of the problem. They are meant to be replaced, after all...


Not only that, there's the satisfaction that comes from, Hey! I fixed
it.

OP here ...
That is indeed the thing, satisfaction of fixing a problem.

NOTE: I had found a "plan" for an aircleaner on the web, just a box with
a squirrelcage fan in it and a way to hold furnace-type filters in place
(2 filters 18x24" on each side of the box). I bought the motor off ebay
in 2004. It was surprisingly big ...

I have run the motor at times consinuously for days or weeks. I got my
money's worth.
