$10 Goodwill find.

[ToryTheFanMan]

Today i went to Goodwill and they had something good for a change. found this 1982 Kmart K-223 2nd gen. with a metallic sticker. it was very clean when i got it. in fact when i went to pay for it the cashier said. "wow someone must have cleaned this before giving it away" i did not have to do much. the high speed wire had fallen out of the switch i put that back in place tore the motor apart and cleaned and oiled it. and that was it. its a nice addition to my Lakewood collection.

Great find Tory.. I'll have to check the Goodwills around here sometime and see if they have anything good.. Never been..

I dont find very good fans there normaly. but the day i found this they had a couple good fans. i also got this 4" Windmere for 5 bucks the next day.

Neat little Windmere! I went to Goodwill finally,, and it stunk.. The prices were obscene! The only reasonably priced item was a little SMC clip fan, which was a very good find since I like SMC fans quite a bit.. It also cost $5..

Mine normally prices fans around five bucks. the K-223 was the first one that i had paid more than five for there.

They had a used Aloha Breeze oscillator fan for 10 dollars,, which is kind of ridiculous.. I think you can get a new one for probably 15..

There's usually not a lot of good stuff at Goodwill. Not that I've found anyways, I've scored a few times but not as much as other places like Habitat.

That Windmere is just like mine, I can't recall what store it was bought at, but it was in 1993.

I know Habitat can be awesome for ceiling fans,, but do they have portable fans as well?
