Hey y'all. I haven't been acquiring as much new stuff since the move. It's been a combination of the used market being slow locally, and really more a point of dealing with and organizing what I already have. I can't remember if I missed putting anything in 2017's thread (don't really think I did), but hopefully I can try to keep up this year. I don't remember the last time I didn't have something new right away in January lol, we're pretty far into February too. Anyways, first thing I have is a Fanimation Ascension. I'm super late when it comes to this model, it got to the point that so many people had talked about them that I didn't want to pay for one just to have it sit in the box. With the recent living room install I did at my place, Fanimation (Dan) thought it would be the perfect fan for that space and I had to agree. Dan also customized a remote control receiver to produce the speeds I needed, I'm very grateful for it all. Also part of the conditions in receiving this fan is the emphasis that YOU SHOULD GO VISIT THE MUSEUM AT FANIMATION, just your PSA for the day.    |

The used market in South Florida has been dead for over a year, or could it be the vintage ceiling fans are dieing off, or the habitats not excepting stuff that looks too old.. But then again Craigslist is pretty much dead due to the apps, But also the apps are also a rarity.. Funny thing is the vintage fans are out there still installed in places, But rare to find them in the used market anymore.. Also on another note, most vintage fan stuff I do come across I already have.. No need for a Ka'gillion Emerson 1895 series fans, hunter stuff, encon CG high breezes, Fasco Charlestons, or 90s Casablanca stuff, and that's basically all that I ever see anymore.. I know some do post on my vids "You should get that"..

I want an Asencison, the problem is finding a good space to put it. I might try and convince Tom to send me one as I do want one. Then again I wish it were light kit adaptable, as I NEED light wherever I put a fan in my house.

Nice to see you posting again. It's been a while.
When this model came out I though you would have been the first one to get one. On mine the canopy didn't come completely flush with the ceiling. If it's the same with yours, it must not crush the wire.

I know some do post on my vids "You should get that".. I agree, in pretty much every regard. Fans in the used space have dropped off a bit, for a number of reasons I'm sure. I like duplicates, I'd be grabbing them if they came up for me, but I agree you can't get them all when they're constantly showing up in your area. I've never had the problem of too many of the same thing showing up. Nice to see you posting again. It's been a while. When this model came out I though you would have been the first one to get one. On mine the canopy didn't come completely flush with the ceiling. If it's the same with yours, it must not crush the wire. Yeah, I just could never decide if I wanted one bad enough. Now with an actual place to put it, I think it was the right time. My canopy goes pretty much flush to the ceiling, I left the screws a little loose for the wire. |

A former coworker gave me two of these Kenmore fans a LONG time ago. Took me awhile to get to them since I always have a million priorities. At the core, they basically seem to be a late 90s Regency Marquis. So they're half decent build, but fairly meh. They even have the motor tapped for 4 blades, but with the non-detachable switch housing there's no good way to install that configuration so I didn't. Original had (typically worn out) spotlight kits, just remove them entirely.   |

Nice fan! I hope that you enjoy it. I would like to have this fan in AB color.

That must look amazing with the Kichler Tunras right across...awesome job Cole! Also, that sure is a nice looking string coming out of the canopy  Regarding the Kenmores, I take it they're are Air Cool? |

I remember seeing these at Sears years ago. I thought they were cool looking for this style.

I don't think I've ever seen those Kenmore fans before, they look nice. The Sears fans I'm familiar with are the GE vent style.

I remember those Kenmores as a kid but in PB in the display before it shortly disappeared and became where they keep the small gas powered tools at our local Sears.
I'd hang on to at least one of them since Sears could definitely be a piece of history like Montgomery Ward, Woolworths, etc. in the near future!

My Habitat finally produced a thing. 36" Hacienda, complete sans mounting bracket. I can't even remember the last thing I picked up at Habitat, it's been so slow and the few fans that have come in were mostly literal trash. I added the tassels, thought I had some extra NuTone tassels somewhere but couldn't find them. Everything else is as I found it. Fairly good condition, runs well. Needed a lot of cleaning and of course all the crappy rubber isolating parts were toast, so I had to deal with the issues that presents.  |
