Which is exactly my point - the fans are monitored very well by the onboard
diagnostics, and I find it surprising that a "refurbished" router (which 
should be checked for defects, or near-defects) should have fan tray
that's already near-failed...

In my experience with 6500 FANs, they only complain when one of the fans
is really defective, as in "you take out the try, 8 fans will continue to
spin for 30 seconds, the 9th will stop after 3 seconds".

But we're not using Cisco refurb any way - as has been said: they seem
to be doing this to show "good will" and stop customers from getting 
their hardware elsewhere - but all they do is demonstrate lack of 
interest.
