LOCATING PARTS FOR HOOVER UPRIGHT

Question

HELLO
I AM TRYING TO LOCATE A FAN FOR THIS UNIT AND AM GETTING STONEWALLED IN EVERY APPROACH THAT I HAVE TAKEN SO FAR . IN KINGSTON , ONT WHICH IS 45 MIN. AWAY NOBODY CARRIES THE PARTS ANYMORE AND ACCORDING TO THEIR LISTINGS ON THE COMPUTER YOU HAVE TO BUY THE MOTOR AND FAN AS A UNIT WHICH IS PRICED AT ABOUT THE SAME PRICE AS A NEW MACHINE .THIS VACUUM HAS VERY LITTLE USE SO I DO NOT WANT TO DISPOSE OF IT. I SURE COULD USE SOME HELP LOCATING THIS PART. I EMAILED HOOVER CANADA AND DID NOT GET ANY RESPONSE
