Yes, I searched, but didnt find anything that matches what I am wanting to do.

The fan works, the switch works proportionally on all settings.

On the highest setting, it works like it would on the second highest setting. Is there a way to bump up the flow through the fan?

Pull the fan and motor out and have a look inside. My '85 first burned out the resistors and a few years later started to run slower and slower and finally would cut out periodically. Opened up the motor and found the brushes were worn down to nothing:

New set of brushes and its as good as it was before:
