Last Friday, during the same trip to get the two old Nadairs at Entraide Mercier, I also went to get this fan not too far from Mercier. I got it from a lighting, fan and other electrical equipment store. They had a lot of overstock and items taken out of their boxes or in their boxes but with boxes that had been opened so they are selling a lot of things for very cheap instead of full price.
They have an AD on Les Pacs stating that they have Canarm CP36 and CP56 for 25-35$ NIB. I called them to know if they had the RARE mid size version that we never see and they did! The mid size models are only 30$ NIB and they did not even charged me taxes. It was an awesome deal. I saw the CP48 from online places for as much as 100$ new. The CP56 currently sells for 84$ + taxes at big stores like Rona and Réno-Dépot.
I took the opportunity of this good deal to get the CP48 (120 cm across) that is rarely seen instead of the popular CP56 version. I love spinners and particularly the ones with metal blades in this mid size.
A big mistake on the box. Plafonier instead of Plafonnier.
I like how thier boxes are so long and narrow.
I was surprised to find out that the canopies on this one are metal and not plastic. The demo model at my local Réno-Dépot have soft (flexible) plastic canopies.
The motor is made more like the one of a CP36 but wider. The blades are very unique to this version. They have brackets like on the CP56 which is nice but no lines. The curve of the tips are very pronounced for a recent fan, just like on older fans. I love that.
The air delivery is amazing and the spin down time is eternal.
RPM estimation: 80/130/200/280 (Or even more on the full speed.)
I only wish theses came with two downrods. This one (40 cm) and a shorter one. I might try the extra downrod I have left from my 1983 Canarm which is 40cm long on this fan and if it's compatible I would cut it in half to about 20cm and repaint it to hide the scratches. I want to keep the original downrod of this fan intact.
