old homestead product control

[junkhound]

2 wire control for fan and lights. HP-FSC-1 control.

Friend gave me the non-functional control and asked if I knew how it worked, no idea for a replacement.
Control has 2 transistors, 2 pots, inductor, diodes, resistors, capacitors.
I assume there is a circuit board in the fan/light.

Anyone familiar with this setup, found some web references, but no circuit diagrams. I'm too lazy to reverse engineer the circuit board in the thing. Web says circa 1985 product.

Easier and cheaper to just replace the fan.

I agree. I have one I bought from Honeywell, thinking that they were a big enough company that parts and replacements would be available long term. I was wrong, it was a one-and-done for them too. I managed to get mine working the last time something went wrong, because I found an IC on the board and assumed that was it, replaced it and I was right. But I probably spent 20 hours on it all together, counting Google time to find the IC somewhere. A new fan would have been cheaper.
