It turns out the fan was fine. The noise disappeared, and has very briefly
appeared infrequently since. I think it is coming from one of the
Quantum P105's in this machine, which have been spinning for over 4 years.

and a few others I accidentally deleted!
One respondent recommended WD-40 :), no-one had a specific part number for the
fan alone. I took the power supply module out, the fan is a Mitsubishi
MMF-06B12DS 12 volt, 220mA. It turned freely, but I lubricated it anyways,
and replaced it.
Paul postulated Rave (1-800-966-RAVE) as a second source for the fan.
