Not anything monumental for sure, but the Litex has sold. Down to 6.
Something VERY interesting I found out, though... it turns out that the main cashier at my Habitat is apparently the sister-in-law of the person that own(ed?) Classic. From what I understand, they bought out a business that had at least 15,000 fans' worth of genuine Hunter Original parts (stators, rotors, blades, brackets, etc.) after the original owner embezzled the money, and the new company used a lot of these parts to construct fans and relabeled them accordingly.
Doesn't answer the question of how some of them have Homestead blades, some have arch-end, etc. but interesting nonetheless.

July 16. (2) 52" 4B W antique GE, $100 each 52" 5B W/B Craftmade Presidential - $40 48" 4B brown Encon CG, wood blades - $20 48" 4B ivory/brass Evergo 4E3LW w/ replacement blades and remote - $20 42" 4B W Encon Princess - $15 NEW:52" 4B BB Casablanca Zephyr, stencil, 4L, converted to 3 speed - $50 68" 5B Hampton Bay Altura - $125 52" 5B W Craftmade Decorative - $15 Pics: Princess Casablanca... when I got it in the Slumber Quiet would only function at kind of a medium speed (100ish) unless it were turned all the way up at which point it would run on high (180). When I took out the potentiometer completely it ran on the slow speed and when I cut its wires and hooked them together it gave me high. So I left the tied-together wires in the fan and wired it for three speeds, using a 12uf capacitor for medium (135 or so) and a 6uf for low (55-60). I then hammered the middle piece from an unused switch cap into where the speed knob was. Altura - maybe I could feel how much air it actually moves if I didn't have one of the GE's on the same circuit, but it doesn't move fast AT ALL. Maybe 60 RPM on high, but supposedly it moves around 8500 CFM using the Energy Star method... Just for fun I thought I'd throw in a picture of some recent Wal-Mart brackets to show just how cheap they've gotten (I parted the rest of the fan out immediately upon receipt). Basically you have three PEGS where the three regular blade screws used to go, and then a fourth hole in the blade is where you insert this "thumb-disc" thing that screws into the bracket. Hideous. I haven't taken a picture of the Craftmade yet, but I probably won't anyway as it's one that was brought back to the store after someone bought it months ago. I remember the crayon marks all over the blades, and there was residue from one of our price tags still on the switch housing.

Those Alturas look cool but SUCK.

Got in a CEC hugger with blade bracket extensions today, along with another small hugger. I'll post pics after Tuesday when I get things organized; there was some work that didn't get finished as the fans came in late.

Apparently those Altura turned really good and it seems they have sold at lot of theses. The blades are really cool.
The Wal-Mart brackets are UGLY.

Aaah my Princess is there! Does this one hum? On low it is unbearable. Then again, I think the sound is traveling through the metal beam that holds the outlet boxes. Apparently those Altura turned really good and it seems they have sold a lot of these. The blades are really cool. It only goes 55-60 RPM on high. I can't really tell how much air it puts out because the only place I had room to put it was right next to both GE's, one of which is on the same circuit as this fan, and I'm not about to waste a bunch of time undoing wires so I can see how much air a Hampton Bay blows.
