There's plenty in the archives of this and the Vintage Models forum on the subject, easily searched. I think Ashcraft offers a kit and possibly a manual. Electric fan is the way to go. However, the bearing is readily available. Replacement is not very difficult but maybe shouldn't be your first project, I don't know your skill level. The front cover containing the bearing should be taken to a machine shop for removal/replacement of the bearing.
Confirm that the fan bearing is bad (and not some other noise) by pulling the belt and spinning the fan by hand.
