94pt 'cool o matic' gally exhaust fan
Hmm. You did a good job - I didn't know that the configuration wasn't stock!
Some intermediate owner made off with the knob, so when I want to adjust I use a pair of needle-nose pliers. Keep meaning to pick up a knob at an electronics supply, but it hasn't been a priority.
