So heres one of my recent finds. this came to me from a friend in Ohio who also collects fans. he had messaged me on facebook asking if i wanted it and well i took him up on that offer. this is a mid 80's (1983-1984 to be exact) Galaxy 3713 3 speed box fan. it cleaned up really nice and runs as smooth as butter. its been my main bedroom fan for the past month and is doing great. like most of these it was missing its handle and had a few broken slats on the back grill. and very minor rust in the bottom of the cabinet. this was the phase out period for the full size motor brace. since during this time Lasko/Galaxy box fans were going to the 2 piece motor mounts.
The infameous Plastic Motor. witch is a great motor. but when they seize solid they are pretty much done for.
And all my 1980's era Galaxy fans..
