[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1020036, member: 199791"] It's possible, but finding a good match for something most likely made in china would be a PITA, and the motor would probably cost more than a whole fan depending on where it is bought from... Myself, I'd be pulling the motor apart to try and resurrect it (assuming it's not all riveted together, which is also a PITA to deal with!), the motor shaft may be stuck, but it could be freed up and made to work with a little time cleaning up the bearings if they're bronze sleeve bearings and some decent oil, given you have bought a new fan, it's a case of nothing to lose, if the motor's shafted, you still have a fan, but if you get it working again, you have two fans... :) [/QUOTE]
