It would have been easier and quicker in the long run, considering how
long it took you to find a source for the fans, and the time it takes
to purchase them, to have repaired your fans. Doh! :-) It really is a
simple process to disassemble a fan and pack the bearings with new
grease to make it spin freely again.
...but then, far too many people have become lazily wasteful, just
replacing things rather than repairing them, then moaning about all of
the pollution, toxic-waste and related resulting problems. Instead of
learning a lesson from this, and then repairing things and keeping
them longer, the dimwits look to more landfills and waste recycling,
as the "solution" when proper "recycling," e.g. repair rather than
replacement, could have prevented the problems in the first place.
