This forum exists so that members can bounce ideas around. However, as a beginner and new member you need to be aware that everything said here is just somebody's opinion. Most of the advice given will be good, but you should not exceed your level of competence just because somebody here suggests something. Electricity can be dangerous, and old fans can also be physically dangerous - you can easily slice the end off a finger. These dangers are even greater if there are children around.

Dave's cautions in #2 should be taken seriously. If you don't understand them, you should just keep the fan as a static exhibit.
