It's the first time that I see a Crompton Parkinson actually made in India. It's the same model as your 1974 Crompton Greaves High Efficency but in a mid size version? The CEC Deluxe looks really cool! The the same model a the two other ones you got not too long ago but in 140 cm? That 1966 SMC K56 is the same type of SMC that Wilcorp imported in the 1960s-1970s in Canada. I think only the lower canopy is different. This is the upper canopy that was talking about that have a longer upper part. Yes the gold line is an actual metal ring on theses. Some 4 Seasons had that too. www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=1664&c=36I thought that the 1970s SMC K56 were made pretty much the same way as the 1960s ones. The last SMC appears to be dated of 1982 and not 1972. The Crompton Greaves comparison is very cool and impressive. That crompton parkinson is 48", blades are iron too.. according to fantique, there were some crompton parkinson fans made in india such as "ball" model I expect the CEC to be the same model but older.. The ones i got before had round capacitors, this has a bulky capacitor and wide round tip blades I always thought that SMC motor will be different! Turns out to be identical to the ones i recently got! all the 80s version of those SMC (before 1986) had no date and this one was exactly like the powerful one i have in our farm that was built in early-mid 70s in terms of specs plus motor was cast, not stamped like the 80s model

more scrap finds this time: one of the scrappers called me saying he got many fans, unfortunately i didn't have enough money but i managed to get the best of the scraps from one scrapyard i got a ABC for a hefty scrap price, i could've taken more but the offer was too expensive.. i also traded one of my damaged fans for a really old CG high breeze (late 70s - early 80s) motor which i expected not to work, turned out it works but capacitor is shorted i went to another scrapyard where i got the amazing haul for a cheap price and got 1 SNC, 2 relite fans, 1 USHA kohinoor and 1 SMC KD56 with that little money i had left, the best advantage here was that relite motor was plastic which helped reduce cost!! since the CG high breeze didn't have blades, i got CG whirlwind blades that was lying around for the fan, the only problem now is that the blades wont fit the screw holes 1 relite has its winding damaged, however relite fans are both dated april 1983 SNC is probably early mid 90s SMC KD56 is august 1995 and has a dent on the blade (SMCs with dented blades are done from early 90s to 1994 (KN56) 1995 (KD56)) USHA kohinoor is from the 80s ABC is from the 80s early 80s - late 70s CG high breeze i hate it when scrappers do this USHA kohinoor SNC SMC KD56 relite and ABC

It's very stupid what they did to the brackets of the Crompton Greaves High Breeze.
The SNC surprises me! Theses seems very rare. I've once seen a picture of a ceiling fan in Thailand and it said SNC on the control but I'm not sure that the fan you got is the same SNC as the Thai one. What type of blades goes on this fan?
I love the blades that the older SMC KD56 have. I wish they were not bent.

Awesome haul...shame the scrappers are so rough on the fans like that, but I guess they don't care since they're scrapping them. Glad you saved as much as you did. Bet you're excited about the Relite! ;D

some great ones this time and the previous haul last week! as for last week, i got 5 fans.. USHA (just like andrew's), 2 SMC KN56 (Oct 1994 and another one older than the previous old ones), TMT (or possible clone?) and an old national with inverted blades plus a SMC AK56 curvy blade set for one of my bladeless 1994 KN56 and KDK inverted blades for another bladeless national i got in the first post as for yesterday i got 8 fans and some fan parts.. winner super deluxe MEC (2 different types) safer- EMCO (motor only) Rajay 2 unknown fans a really old KDK CG high breeze blade arms 80s SMC KN56 blades at first when i went to the scrapyard, i was so excited i found a blue TMT, i directly picked it up along with other fans.. i was even more surprised to find out that fan was not TMT, it turned out to be winner a really old KDK fan i found, i always thought those upper canopies werent original, it was nice to find out that they were original! u may also notice that the upper casing is different from newer models safer EMCO, i am surprised it actually had metal canopies and its one of the latest of its model, the earliest model i saw had plastic canopies MEC suspected fan is lying next to it 2 unknown fans, one is suspected to be a velox, the other one remains unknown so now its time to move on to the fans with blades already cut... i took them for their blade arms so i can get the new blade set fabricated using the original blade arm Rajay MEC i also found another early 80s CG high breeze but due to my budget limit, i only took the blades that were already cut.. i took that mainly for the blade arm so blades can be fabricated on it

cut blades will be separate from the blade brackets and scrapped.. i will try to get the blades fabricated on the original blade bracket.. however, making curved blades could be impossible therefore i will try to go for straight blades
as a correction to the last post, the fan next to the EMC fan (claimed to be MEC) turns out to be TMAT.. never seen or heard of that brand before, the black unknown fan turns out to be velox from the later 80s and probavly 90s..
i also noticed that KDK turned out to be heavier than the old one from the 80s i already have, i have a feeling that these KDKs were operated using the 7-speed regulators
the other unknown has its winding leaking all over the motor.. besides that, all other fans work

Ouff! It's awful what happen with theses blades. I hope you won't get any jammed screws for the cut blades.
How old is the USHA?
Wow! I'm glad you got a blue fan.
The KDK have a different upper canopy that we don't see often.
Do you think the blue color in the TMAT is original?
The fan on the 10th picture might be a New Fan.

thanks god i was able to get the blade arms out of the fan without having jammed screws!
its most probably 70s, no date is available, it uses exactly same capacitor as the 60s USHA i have but 2.25 uF
that blue fan was a real surprise when i found it! i even found a green safer EMCO, but it was in a terrible condition and had no blades
the blue color on TMAT is not original
i suspected that at first.. but i have no clue, the fan motor label is different than new fan, it turned out to have leakage in the winding, i will try to get it fixed if possible

more scrap! got 8 fans this time, some of them mainly for motor interior replacement, and by those 8, i reached 200 fans in my collection TMT fan, green color Roopa 2 safer EMCO mid 90s CG high breeze unknown weatherite lookalike which i will scrap since it turned out not to work SMC K56, 1988 motor only a gigantic KDK fan without blades EMC (safer EMCO) were complete set, having the newer blades just like the one i have, the different thing here is that the canopies are steel, the one i already have are plastic.. the weird part is that the ones with steel canopies are newer, i found that out since the motor is a bit thinner than the one i have previously colored TMTs are very hard to find here, this is my first time seeing and getting my hands on a green TMT, never seen them before.. i've seen blue ones only in 1 place in UAE and in syria the TMT is as heavy as the TMT i got at the end of 2010, but it is probably newer.. the capacitor is seriously blown! the TMT family (blue one is winner, not TMT) this CG high breeze is different from the ones we all know in several ways.. unlike all high breeze models i have seen, these ones have different blade screws and these are multiple blade size compatible.. no specific date is known but i've seen one like it dated 1996, this one also has the hand logo instead of the new CG logo roopa (not koopa lol) dated june 1993, blades were pulled off the arms.. i like the fan motor design KDK F14ZK i remember i used to look down at these fans when i was a kid as "bizzare chinese fans" these fans are very rare to find in UAE.. i've always seen a national variant but never a KDK version of this.. these fans are produced in syria (if industry is not destroyed by the army) as Ramco the case is a bit broken, it didnt come with any blade set, these are easy to fabricate at least.. the motor is bent in a way which makes it shake when spinning SMC and weatherite lookalike was not snapped

Wow! I never saw a green TMT. I did not know they made them in that color. Most of the ones in Chad were blue and 120 cm.
Wow! Very cool that you got one of theses rare KDK's. It does not look exactly like the ones in Syria. It actually looks better than the Syrian versions that are not even labled KDK. Theses are really made in Syria?
