2022 Backlog

[Adin Panthers]

I need to start getting back at posting stuff on the forum, so here's some backlog.

Grandparent's old house (used as my aunt and uncle's rental house for renovations)

52" Evergo Closemount fan. Originally had a different globe on, but the tenants who rented the house broke it. Pullchain for the light is also broken, stuck to the on position, and a broken pullchain nut on the fan chain.

Photos of the fan with the light on was taken on 6/12/2022, fans with the light off was taken on 6/16/2022

7/15/2022: was gonna take photos of the current fan display at Home Depot, but had to leave. Ended up choosing to take photos of the Dayton/Leading Edge Industrials caught with balloons

Is there a single Leading Edge/Dayton fan industrial out there that ISN'T run within an inch of its life?

Recall clips from Cole Semanko (8/27/2022), needed them for my 2 Venuses and California Zephyr to put it to good use

52" Craftmade Decorative at Anna Bannanas (9/17/2022)


Costco (with Big Ass Fan Essence and Fanimation Studio Collection Aire Drop, 10/1/2022)

Big Ass Fan Essence fans




3 Fanimation Studio Collection Aire Drop (optical store)



2 Fanimation Studio Collection Aire Drop (hair conditioner)


52" Hunter Mill Creek box:

68" Hampton Bay Alturas at Atlas Pizza (11/17/2022)




42" Casablanca Lady Delta (July 6, 1992. 150th fan made on that day, 28mm Samsung K55) and 50" Casablanca Delta II (September 18, 1992. 629th fan made on that day, 28mm Emerson K55 w/80s style top end bell) (11/21/2022)













Lady Delta assembled (12/20/2022, bearings have some hissing noise, definitely will need to be replaced anyways)



Delta II assembled (12/19/2022, one of the screws to install the hatch was warped)




My first Emerson fan: 1895 Series from January of 1984. Reverse switch acts finicky sometimes where it doesn't want to work on downdraft, and only work on updraft. Need to find a way to replace the bearings on this, and it had a light kit at one point. Also need a proper switch cap for this. (3 photos were taken on 12/5/2022, 5 photos were taken on 12/7/2022)









1895 Series assembled (12/21/2022, the wiremold was blocking the thread's way to install the canopy, the testing rig has since been reworked on with a pancake box now having a Hang-Tru ceiling adaptor plate)




The last fan acquisition of the year: 2.0 amp American made Hunter Original from February 14, 2002. Was supposed to come earlier before Christmas, but the weather conditions delayed it. This fan came from Jack Minor and the shaft has since been cleaned out. Blade arms do need touch up, and it also came with SAE-10 equivalent non-detergent motor oil (12/27/2022)

Adin,

I'm really jealous of those pure white blades on the Delta II. All three of my late 80's/early 90's white Delta II fan's blades have started to yellow. The rest of the fans are in excellent condition with new bearing. Casablanca probably used an oil-based white paint on the blades at that time. I painted much of the interior trim in my house with a white, oil-based paint in the early 90's, because oil-based lasted much longer that latex. Unfortunately, in 30 years time my interior trim looks like the Delta blades now. The newer acrylic/latex paint has improved greatly over the years as oil-based paints are slowly discontinued.

I'm repainting the trim this year and thinking about those Delta blades too.

Thanks for posting and take care!

Jim

My Delta II’s blades are yellowed too, but for some reason, only on the side that was facing the floor.

Thanks Cole, I'm going to check mine. If that's the case, maybe I'll flip the blades and call it a day!

Take care!
