I think these are the best ever. But the older ones used a potentiometer, circuit board and heat sink for a infinitely variable speed control. They have a life of a bout 10 years. Now, the parts are NLA and Casablanca doesn't make this type of fan anymore; they haven't for many years. I bet this is off-the-shelf stuff, but no one wants to make up a kit anymore because there can't be that many Casablancas left from that vintage.

Anyone know about these? I could tear into it and try to get numbers off the components. Casablanca said in the past the all 3 items had to be replaced as a unit. Why would that be? I think the potentiometer burns out because of the low speed usage they allow. Comments?
