Broward Habitat - Craigslist & Sightings

[Adam D.]

Here's another round of goodies I picked up




New Fans are from a response from my wanted ad on Craigslist



Funny how I got this.. It was in the repair area of the Broward Habitat.. There was an old guy there, and I saw him walk up the stairs and disappear.. I went back there snooping around and came across this.. I know it would not have made it to the self.. Lady at the counter asked where did you get that from, I said it was in a box over there where the fans are at, she only charged me for the motor which was $5..





The ceiling fan section.. Again, more scrap metal minus the Charleston, SMC, and Emerson


This isn't the first time I've seen an SMC like this.. I found two 24k like this before..





The lady that sold me the New Fans also has this desk fan she wants to sell.. If I had the extra money, I would have gotten it.. But it looks like I'll be getting it at a later time.. I may start collecting these types of fans, but it will ONLY be pre 1980s all metal ones...

Nice fans! I hope that you enjoy them.

Is that Emerson canopy cut in two or smashed/broken?

I would have got the SMC industrial and the Designer if they were inexpensive.

[Adam D.]

Yes, canopy is broken in two pieces.. Was going to glue it back, but it's missing a big chunk, so canopy is not repairable without all pieces..

The Emerson Designer has been there for the last few months, and is marked at $40

The SMC is cheap, I think, but too incomplete for me to take.. Though I did find the down rod rubber piece and screws in a baggy on the other end of the rack, but I could not locate both upper/lower canopies.. If it were complete, I would have bought it..

Wait until the Designer is $20.

No lower canopy might be a dealbreaker for me.

[Adam D.]

Ya, but I don't want the designer.. It has a light kit, plus I already have two in that size and finish.. I would love to save everything, but it's not possible..

The blenderfan cleaned up nicely other than the fact the flywheel will need painted, and an Emerson plastic canopy..... I don't think I've ever come across this small of one that is two speeds.. I can't believe water and dish soap completely wiped the ink off of the label..

And someone actually did a hack job with a saw on the canopy.. One side has a clean cut..

[Deleted]

You can always send it to me . . . I'll save all of them!

Every single blenderfan with switch housing I have has been 2 speed, all sizes.

[Adam D.]

The three bladed models with switch housing only have on/off.. At least all the ones I've had/have..

I guess want ads do pay off! Sad about the condition of the Blenderfan, hopefully it runs and hopefully t can be restored to its original glory!

[Adam D.]

Blenderfan runs.. It doesn't need much other than flywheel painted and another plastic canopy..

The New Fan has been added to the Golden Fan / New Fan galleries under New Fan

New Fan Manufactory Ltd Ceiling Fan Model N-101C 48"

It's awesome how the New Fan control came in new condition.

Interesting how the voltage tolerance on the motor is 100-120V. That means it could be used in southwest Japan.

Nice desk fan. You don't like japanese 1970's desk fans with colored transparent blades?

[Adam D.]

Ya, they never used the New Fan control.. I guess they had it laying around in it's box all these years..

What Japanese desk fans you are talking about?

[Deleted]

Those were one speed, I've never found one.

[Adam D.]

I'm surprised you never found one... I'm pretty sure those three blader switch housing blenderfans were sold with a light kit too.. Probably how Sears offered them.. Either that, it's just a coincidence that all the one's I've found had a light kit on it, or missing the switch cap..

At least you can convert it to 3 speed.
