Assuming you were too cheap (let's call a spade a spade) to run your lights more than 30 minutes a day over the holidays, you do realize that 98% of the time your dead lights were serving you perfectly well as a net. I too have spent way, way too many hours trying to fault trace burnt lights. Even conned the better half into holding one of the meter test leads. One string still eludes me. Later still, one of them thar newfangled LED strings started misbehaving. I succumbed to modern marketing and have declared those a terminal loss. Thought I'd wait for the Xmas clearances, but nary a string to be had even though crates of recalled Westinghouse lights probably sat out back. Oh well, maybe next year.
Oh, and if you're going to go for a fixed fan (as I did in my 74 140), you'll theoretically gain a fraction of power and fuel economy if you use the yellow plastic blades that will naturally flatten out at high revs. I'd call that viscous fan lite. You could also hang around the garage sales and pick up one of those large box fans then take the blade out and lag bolt it to the pulley.
