Yeah, I know it's the LUG, but we all have our other items of working antiquity. In this awful heat I just cleaned up an old Cold Wave 10" desk fan. No oscillator power-take-off, but it's still a decent unit. Not sure of the vintage. I'm surprised at the amount of air that this little fan puts out! As I can't see the blades spin I'm a bit afraid of getting a finger lopped off while reaching across my desk, not paying attention to the wire guard. Like a desktop food processor, it is. Questions I have are: does anyone know how to get it a bit quieter? Possibly new bushings? Also it feels like it is getting quite warm and I don't want to risk damage to the unit or worse. How can I get this fan to run cooler as well? Apologies for the OT post. Thanks in advance for your knowledge. PhilFo
