Reminds me of the Caablanca Montclair. Same here. Only it has a 188×20 motor

I'm finding it difficult to determine whether you are being sarcastic or not

Inside source who was at Dallas Market had hinted that a redesign was coming last year and further hinted that Rotor inside Stator would make a return.
I think, primarily due to the fact that the 210x20mm motor is ruined very quickly with low oil. Stator/rotor clearance is too tight (only about .010) and as soon as the rotor gets any play in it... it's done. 50 hours will do it in and it's the rotor that wears, not the shaft. I've repaired two now by using 80w90 oil and shaving material out of the rotor and off of the stator.
This market, the same person confirmed that a motor re-design is here. Said Hunter reps told him it will be "Built like the USA fans". I highly doubt it will be the same 28 pole motor we all know and love. I hear musings about DC (which would be highly practical in this housing, listed amp draw doesn't support that, however..), but it will definitely be rotor inside stator. Because of DOE regulations, I really don't expect a return to the exact old motor design. If they increased pole number to 32 or 34 with the exact previous design, they could achieve a lower current draw on high speed... due to synchronous speed current drop off in the PSC motor.

Now that is good news! Only problem is, nothing made in China will ever be quite like what was built in the USA with pride back in the day...

Since I like retro/ contemporary/ traditional blend fans, this is nice to me. This style of fan throws me back to the 90s.
