OMG! I am very mad. My friends and I got to "The Bowler" and there was a private league that was going to start in 15 minutes. They would not let us in so I could not get the pics of the Blender fans! I didn't ask about the fans because my dad had left by then.
We did go to a different place though that had some Banvils, some with silver stripes on the motor, some with gold. Also two of them had been replaced by those new generic industrials, and one appeared to be on the verge of falling off the ceiling. I think it was only hanging by the safety cable.
Then we went to a furniture store that had some Nutone Prolines that were scattered all over the store. They looked very cool in the store. Pics and a video or to will come later. It'll take forever for the pics to load.

Yes, the fans are still there, I could see a little of the blades. Here are some pics: First, my friend's cat; Spencer. Here is the Banvil that was nearest to us And the row, you can see fans between every two lights. I didn't get a pic of the generic replacements, but if you go to my Stillwater thread, and look at the fans outside under the restaurant awning, those are the same. I have a video of the one of those that looks like it's gonna fall off the ceiling that I will post later. The Banvils and replacements all wobble VERY violently. The Nutone Proline at the furniture store, there were so many people that I'm lucky to have gotten this picture. These seem to be popping up more often now. So there's more fans from Fargo!

I'm not sure what the one has, because I've never been in her house. The one with the cat pictured has one Regency with remote in an interesting location. Her house is newer so that makes sense. At one time she wanted a fan in her bedroom, and I was going to give her one, but then she changed her mind.

I have a Regency Marquis, it actually puts out a decent amount of air. I also had a Countess that I parted out due to a dead motor. It was NIB, with everything wrapped up nicely, but the motor was dead. Regency blades are pitched very steeply.

did you save the blades from the dead motor?

Yup, I saved everything except the actual motor. That means switch housing, motor housing, blades, blade arms, etc.

Those Banvils are Silver Lines. The canopy on newer Nutone Prolines looks a lot like the canopy that was used on 90s Fascos. CUTE CAT!!! I also have a cat. She is 5 years old with black and white fur.

Here are those fans that are at our local Best Western that were mentioned earlier. I thought there were more, but I guess not. The only industrials are these two. The seating area on one end of the pool also has these two Footprint-vent huggers. Anyone know what they are? They look very generic, the one on the left has really messed up blade arms. See on the way left, there's a pillar that tapers up, that's where the messed up one is located behind. A close up of the good one. Sorry they aren't very good quality, but there were many people aroud because early voting is being held there, that's why we were there. I only got that close up because I was able to get behind a wall, where no one could see me.

I also loaded that video of the scary looking generic industrial at the bowling place. Sorry that it's sideways. It's very difficult to see in the video, but if you look hard, you can see the canopy wobbling all over with the fan. It would be entertaining to see that very cheap fan come crashing down.(But not on someone of course)
