recently i've been going to scrapyards searching for ceiling fans in the dump or about to be scrapped ever since i saw a truck carrying hundreds of old orient fans and many other good fans worth getting... i was unable to get the fans on the way or in the process of piling the fans in the truck so i at least got an information about the scrapyard location, however, in that place, there are many scrapyards and it's hard to tell which one could have those fans... i found several scrapyards in that area that had fans, i bought a pile of fans at motor scrap rate (AED 5 per kilo).. some sold at less than that price but others tried to cheat me.. i also collected some metal rubbish from trash and exchanged it for fan parts so far i got 17 fans, 16 are working, 1 damaged and 1 having current leakage and 1 has its inner and outer winding overlapping.... only 3 fans had their blades on, however the fans i got so far are: National F560Z1 (1980s model) Yunas Fan (2005) (damaged, taken useful parts and traded the rest in other scrapyards for more parts) (with blades) SMC K56 (Nov 1994) (with blades) UEC (union) (with blades) New Fan Safer-EMCO (1980s) inner and outer winding overlapping Best fan (3), 1 has current leakage Gulf Fans (2) SMC K56 (Oct 1994) (3) Hayashi Myga Fan an unknown huge pakistani fan motor written on the sides: super deluxe i was surprised i actually found "New Fan" here.. i never thought they would exist in UAE New fan    Safer-EMCO  notice the bottom of the motor, it has a label on it..  DANG!  the label turns out to be a repair service ad and there is a ceiling fan picture on it  pile of ceiling fan motors after i got them  6 pakistani fans lying on the carpet after cleaning them.. the 7th one with leakage will be traded for another motor  UEC (the rusty one)  the blades in perfect NIB condition  2 SMC motors  i will keep updating this thread for further posts |

Nice finds! I hope you can get these cleaned up, working, and restored. almost all of them are working properly  .. the nonworking ones i traded them in other scrapyards for fan parts (downrods, screws, capacitors, etc..) if i can get the blades or at least get them fabricated, it would be great! |

I wonder if you could buy some spare blades from some of the current Asian companies.

Hmm.. Chinese and indian blades dont fit there, i would expect KDK blades to fit.. it would be great if i could get an aluminum version of KDK blades for the pakistani fans
for new fan, the only blade set that fits there is the 36" union abc set
i have an extra smc blade set for the smc fan i got

You can always drill new holes in the brackets.

Wow! You will be swimming in fans with all of theses plu s all the ones you got from the buildings that were about to be destroyed.
Nice grab on the New Fan. Do you have the blades for it?
Ouff! Poor Safer-EMCO. I wonder how the bottom of the motor shell got cracked like that to expose the bottom bearing. Maybe it fell from the ceiling?
I can't wait to see the SMC K56 first generation.
Are you gonna restore all theses? They're all in bad condition but at least you did not paid much for them.

New fan didnt have blades when i took it.. the only fitting blades are the 36" ABC
The safer turned out yo have a winding cross issue (run and start being short at a point) and i got another one with the blades.. i will trade this for another motor some day
i will definitely restore them, except if they have winding issues, i will trade those for more fans

some pics of the fans after bending back the blades... crompton pakinson 48" blades (top), SMC and EMC blades over each other, CEC blades in front of crompton blades  CG high breeze 36" blades after bending back  yellowed 60s SMC and 70s SMC blades, TMC blades next to it and KDK blades behind it  SMC AF56 blades   and now towards the motors: crompton parkinson 48" motor, i expected it to be crompton greaves.. it's even bigger than the 70s CG high efficiency fan i have   CEC Deluxe motor   pak fan motor  comparison between the SMC motors: first generation: (1960s) right second generation: 1970 - 1989 middle third generation: 1990 - present  crompton greaves comparison: 1974 CG high efficiency (left) early 90s-late 80s CG high breeze (2nd left) 2000 CG high breeze (2nd right) current CG high breeze (right)  the ring on the SMC motor is an actual ring, not a ribbon.. they use a 6.3 uF capacitor, 2 were dated december 1966, and 1 is dated may 1966  june 1972 SMC, exactly like the powerful one we have in my farm.. unlike the other 2nd generation motors, these are cast iron  |

got all of them tested, all of them work properly except the safer EMCO, since i got another motor earlier that worked, i will replace it with that one and sell it for scrap.. before doing so, i will replace the motor cover as the working one is broken at bottom

It's the first time that I see a Crompton Parkinson actually made in India. It's the same model as your 1974 Crompton Greaves High Efficency but in a mid size version? The CEC Deluxe looks really cool! The the same model a the two other ones you got not too long ago but in 140 cm? That 1966 SMC K56 is the same type of SMC that Wilcorp imported in the 1960s-1970s in Canada. I think only the lower canopy is different. This is the upper canopy that was talking about that have a longer upper part. Yes the gold line is an actual metal ring on theses. Some 4 Seasons had that too. www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=1664&c=36I thought that the 1970s SMC K56 were made pretty much the same way as the 1960s ones. The last SMC appears to be dated of 1982 and not 1972. The Crompton Greaves comparison is very cool and impressive. |
