Here is a shot in the dark.

Use Google Images and see if you can find a similar fan to the one you
have. You will regret damaging the box you are mounting the new fan
to.



I've spent much time on Google images looking for this already. Nothing
like it. Huge glass dome bowl, with three pins to hold it...agonizing to
change a light bulb, 'cause once two pins get in, you cannot (!) get the
third side over a lip to fasten it (I just took that little part off after
hours of trying.) Everything else in this white fan looks normal.

By the way I really think the center pole and ball is only being held up
by the canopy. but I can't figure out how the canopy was attached.


Don't you have a digital camera? A photo would give us a chance to
figure it out.
