Looks great! Hopefully you can get the two other blades

Thanks.. LOL I have the two other blades... It's just one of them is slightly warped.. I've got it under layers of cinder blocks and probably will keep it like that for at least a few days.. I forgot to take pictures of that procedure.. Also just tried it with all the 4 blades, and there's still not much of a different in speeds.. Say Cheese Snips:

Here's a demo video showing the speeds.. Not much of a difference in the change of speeds.. Maybe 10 RPMS, if that..

Nice teaser!
I never have understood why the antique fans seem to have nearly indistinguishable speeds. This one by far is the worst offender!

Thanks..
I wonder why that is? I wonder if they were always this way, or if the transformer shorts out after all these years.. Here's another video of the same fan someone else has.. Seems to have not much of a difference either, probably about as bad as mine. Hard to tell..

Yeahhh, I'm thinking the speed coils just go bad after a while (not quite sure why). One contrasting example, however, would be my Hunter R-52; the speeds actually ARE distinguishable, probably due to the fact that it ran on high for the majority of its life.

Seaside Heights... yup, been there done that. So you're saying the Roundnoses were actually removed BEFORE 'Scrambles, The Death Dealer' came through and ripped the place apart? If so, I guess that's better than what could've happened. Aaaand then of course, a massive fire finished the place off and ate the carousel (and most of everything else. . .).

I remember this being all over the news.. When Sandy hit, and months/year after when the fire occurred.. If I remember correctly, this is over near or on the Jersey Shore? I hope the fans were removed before all this like Andrew is saying..

Speed coils don't go "bad" in this sense. They can only choke what your line voltage is, which may be over the listed voltage.
Antique fans are always fast, faster, blow your hat off as they were meant for 110 or less (ie 104). Check your line voltage (Kill-A-Watt).
Use a wall controller for less speed.

It turned out great!

I didn't think of that Tom, but that sounds about right seeing how the last time I tested the line voltage, it was at 125 volts.. I suppose I could power it up with a variac and see what the difference would be at 110..
