Casablanca New Orleans Fan

I recently bought a house that had a Casablanca New Orleans fan installed in the living room. After some googling, I have found that the fan I have is considered the "long scroll" version and was made in the late 70s or early 80s. Here is a link to a video I found of the exact fan I have. LINK
The issue I am having is that the fan motor seems to be bad. The fan blades spin smoothly, and the lights work. I have verified there is power coming in on the black fan wire, through the 3 speed switch, and out back up to the fan motor. There is no noise or anything when I attempt to turn the fan on.
After this troubleshooting, I have since taken the fan down so that I could possibly dig further into the fan. Some research has led me to believe the motor in this fan is an Emerson K63, however I can't find any replacement for it.
Does anyone know anything about these unique fans?

I had a couple of them back then. They were considered the top of the line, really quiet, moved a lot of air, and could be pretty ornate. You probably need to talk to somebody at a residential lighting showroom that is over than 60 years old.

Where do you live? There's some dude on clearview in Metairie near W. esplanade with a fan shop that has been there for 30+ years. I imagine he would know.

I am in Slidell. Thank you for the reference. I'll have to check them out.

A local electrical supply house may be able to help too.

The newer fans do not move nearly as much air as the old style....so repairing it may be worth the trouble.

FIL is an electrician and recently used him for two oil Hunter fans that were 30+ years old; he picked them out of a dumpster and one had evidence of fire. They work great now.
