Nothing all that great seeing how there was mostly incomplete stuff and overly expensive fans at the Broward Habitat.. The Stuart Habitat had a Gulf Coast Fans Geogianne Five Blade in Antique brass just like the one I had long ago, but was missing blades/brackets.. I went home with these today..  A neat Kenroy Original replica.. I think the blades go to it, not sure though..   Older Hunter Original motor, blades no where in sight, I don't think I have a set of ReversAire-less blades..  ![]() [/img] |

How come this is in the eBay/Craigslist thread? Nice finds, BTW. Especially the Originals and Original copies! (:

According to the serial number (0890), your Hunter Original was made in September 1980.

Went back to the Broward Habitat.. Got them seeing how they are in excellent condition.. They are Shi Chen Electric from April of 1982. Oh damn, I see a p.u.s.s.y in the background. Blades are on upside down and there is stencil on the flip side.. I can tell the brilliance over at the Habitat are the ones that mounted the blades upside down seeing how the dust shows on the one side of the blades..   Saw three blades that appear to go to some kind of Ritz.. I use to have an ornate Ritz that had these brackets of this style..  |

That Kenroy is really cool, I love how they even replicated the one round vent lol. Everything else is really great too, those are great looking spinners.

One of the spinners only has high speed, the rest, no continuity with three off positions... I sure wish these over priced habitats knew what they are selling..

Thanks. It's ours... I'd like to get her fired.. Someone told me she gets mad when she;s asked to lower the price.. They said she marks the prices really high and then comes down each week when item doesn't sell.. That's a dumb way..

Great finds all around Adam, I especially love the spinners! I'm not a big fan of overpriced restores as well, especially when they price up things that obviously shouldn't be. The Norfolk Restore here tends to do that, though in their defence they seem to have a daily 40% off sale on just about everything. They've got a cheap Hampton Bay SMC five blade 42" that's priced at $49.99! I don't know what they were thinking, I don't think it cost that much new!

I haven't been back to my Habitat since I left there, basically since I don't want to know what they've done with the fan section without me there. Well, I still follow them on Facebook, and they had two or three 90's Originals SURVIVE a half-off sale, and usually they're the first to go (neither one has its canopy). There are mounting brackets galore attached to the electrical boxes, which tells me they aren't giving them to the customers. The real kick in the pants? They put a photo up a week or so ago with a builderfan-quality Saturn knockoff with three huge beveled glass lights on it for...
Wait for it...
Get ready...
I hope you are holding on to something...
$150.00
If I still had the time to volunteer and/or didn't already have commitments this summer to keep me from going back and working there again, this alone would make me go back and take matters into my own hands. My worst fear has been confirmed... clearly that section is being run now by people who don't care.
