Hey everyone this is my first post here. I'm an A/V guy and an editor/special effects artist that has a limited background in component electronics, obviously.
I've got the fan pictured below that has a 115V AC plug. There are no switches or toggles, just a power cord and I need to incorporate a variable speed control into it. I'm guessing that I need to solder inline with the power cord a pot but not sure. On the front sticker it reads:
115V~AC 50/60 Hz
1 PHASE 6/5.5W
IMPEDANCE PROTECTED
Can someone please verify that a potentiometer inline with the power cord would be the right way to go. If so, which pot to use and what to solder where. If not, what should I use?

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it!
