Damn, yours looks gnarly. You can buy my old one which is in a LOT better shape for only $75 
I swapped because I bought a new hub and the powdercoated fan together, and replaced for cosmetic purposes.
Here's my fan. It's really ropey looking. Each blade is de-laminating. Is it enough just to get it out, clean it up and stick it back in? What other signs of wear should I be looking for? Damage to the fan tips? Anything else?
While it's out. What else is worth investigating and/or replacing?
Thanks.

Thanks for your offer. I'd bite your hand off at that price. However, I fear that the shipping to London would be prohibitive.
