Just purchased this Booth, anybody have a lead on a Light/Fan combo?

I remember seeing a complete one on Ebay maybe a year or so ago???  I remember it didn't well for too awful much money.  Both of our booths have the same type of light/blower unit, I just spent several months trying to locate a new light ballast for one of them, who would have thought one of those would be so difficult to find!? 

I may have an extra light/fan cover so it'd look nice until you locate the actual light/blower unit.  I'll take a look and let you know.

Thanks for the reply Eric, I should have mentioned, I have the inside part, so the booth looks complete from inside, just nothing above.

That's the model booth I have.  I snagged the light cover that was up for auction at the same time as the light and fan.  My light works, just had the replace the bulb, ballast is fine.   My problem is the Fan motor doesn't work.  I had it checked out and it looks like there is a break somewhere in the copper windings, so the whole thing has to be re-wound to fix it.  haven't found a good substitute yet.

I'm glad to hear you have the cover as I went looking for our extra one and wasn't able to locate it!

Argee, was it you that asked me several months ago to take a look at my booth to see if I could find any markings on the blower motor?
