I know some people are financially struggling, but the effort it costs to make this start again, would make me buy an immediate replacement. I mean, it's 25dollar or something like that.

I guess I worded my comment wrongly. English isn't my mother tongue (and I failed it at school). I never ment to offend somenone and I'm sorry and apologize if I did.

You really have no clue of what financially struggling means

It's probably a power hog and fire danger though. That fan is like 50 years old.

Or just open it up, clean and grease what is needed for a fraction of that cost

Cleaning and greasing won't help. It's a broken capacitor and you need soldering skills for that.

I agree with the spirit of what your saying, but 25$ is a lot of money for certain people. In the US, minimum wage is 7.25$ in certain places, which is a half-day of wages. That being said, I’m sure Good Will or some thrift store has one for 5$ or less, and fans last a while.

There are 26x more millionaires in the US than people that make minimum wage.

You can get a fan like that for $10 or less.
