this is a desperate cry for help...... in the past i've uploaded pictures of this fan and in fact, it may be my favorite fan, constantly blowing down cool air beams on hot and humid days. and in the same past i know ive received views from many-a ceiling fan fan forums which apparently exist. so please, let my message reach you, tell me how to ail my sickly friend... before its too late!!

the facts are these:
-it wont even start until i put it on maximum speed and it seems like MAYBE... somethings stuck/loose in the motor, rotor, whatevers inside my good old pal (thats my hypothesis at least and i dont mean to brag but i'm a junior detective)
-its a lot louder than it sounds in the video
-been happenin for a while now but i'd let it run its course and it would finish in a minute or two
-if that didnt work i would re-angle it slightly (a feature i didnt even know possible until very recently)
-i dont want to call a mechanic because... i dont like people coming in my room : - (
-no clue how old this babe is (less info)
