The 40s always die first for some reason. I've had a couple get all nasty on me, but i pull them out, peel back the label and squirt some sewing machine oil down the hole there. The trick is getting the label back on, but a dot of superglue worked like a charm for me.
It won't be like new, but it won't be as noisy, saves on getting a pretty lame fan shipped to you too :P That is assuming you already have some light machine lubricant lying around!
