A few days ago, I dismantled a 16-inch table fan in order to wash the casings and the blade. I found that there were cracks on two fins. So I took the blade and went to the electrical shop on the ground floor intending to buy a new blade.
'Don't have the right one' the lady boss said. 'Not one type fits all, you know. The screw rod must be able to go into the hole'
You see, there is a rod with screw thread at the power block and this must be able to go through the opening in the centre of the blade.
'Thanks, I try another shop' I said.
'Buy a new fan better.' she said. 'The blade is not cheap.'
'Never mind' I said. 'I try another shop first.'
Then, yesterday as I walked down the stairs of my block , I saw a discarded fan at the corner of a common corridor. It looked like a 16-inch. So I removed the blade and took it home.
And it fits and it works !! Time and money saved !
Haha, now I will be looking out for a discarded computer monitor.

Do you want a LCD monitor or do you mind a 15 inch CRT monitor?
Hi Franncis, I need to get in touch regarding Cantonese opera. Can I have your email or contact number please? This is not a hoax, but a legit request.

Hi Linda, you sound like you have a spare one to offer. No, I am not serious about getting a monitor. Thanks for your concern.
By the way, mine is an LCD.
