Fan Repair
Nothing to do with my bike, but I figured you guys could lend me a hand...
I have a nice 3 speed standing fan, with a knob that you pull up to not oscillate, push in to oscillate. The knob is broken off, and so the fan always oscillates - which can be very annoying. I was able to pull up the end of the knob, which is inside the fans housing, with a pair of needle nose pliers stuck into the hole where the knob went. But, as soon as I turn the fan back on, the motion of the fan pulls the end down (I could feel it tug against the pliers if I held them), and it oscillates again. Apparently, the knob was needed not just to pull it up, but to keep it up.
Can you think of anyway I can keep the end up, so that the fan doesn't oscillate?
