[VAC] Re: Vent covers



I've been struggling with my aluminum vent cover for quite a while.  Right
now it's tied down in the closed position with tie wraps.  My problem is:

I've got two vent operators (cylinders & handles) that I can't get to turn.
They appear in very good shape.  I have been told to grab the inner face
while turning the knob but there is very little to grab onto and I'm afraid
I will deface the surface that connects to the vent cover.

My fan appears to be dead.  Otherwise the fan and vent are ready to rock and
roll :(  I am torn between original restoration but since I already put in a
Fantastic-Vent in the A/C slot I can't see any harm with going for a second.

If anyone is interested in this piecemeal vent cover I would be willing to
pull it and ship all parts for a small stipend to help me get the Fantastic
Fan "Create a Breeze".  Please contact me off line bob@cruiserbob.com
