The latest. Took the fan this morning to an electrical shop here in Mexico. Testing the unit led to the conclusion that the bearing or bushings are bad which makes it difficult to start, even with a capacitor. Will be repaired tomorrow for $50. But to be safe, I think I will order another one from Granger. I will have to cut the shaft, but that should be no big deal. I will report back on Friday after installation and have some photos. Again, thanks all.
