after selling the other complete original and an extra original motor i started working on the project for the one original i kept of the 3 i got. i kept an original 22272 and plan to clean it and repaint her from her brown coloration to a more modern black and silver/chrome look via sand blasting and powder coating the paint. Attachment Deleted took some pictures of the wireing for when its time to put her back together. Attachment Deleted another picture. Attachment Deleted the oil reservoir had what looks like little beatles in it, all long dead too, probably moved in when the fan sat in the other guys closet for some 30 or so years. |

Attachment Deleted blades awaiting a light sanding to remove the old tape residue. and then going to be painted black. Attachment Deleted blade screws and plastic washers (or aged rubber ones?)? (some of them broke in half while removing the brackets from the blades, any idea on where to get new ones or if these should be rubber and not plastic? and using caned air to clean the originals motor components of dust and other stuff shouldn't damage anything, right? ) thanks mark~

Thanks for posting these pictures of the progress, interesting to see the fans inner components. I must say, I strongly disagree with your color choice...nonetheless this is still a cool restoration project.

np and as to the color choice, i decided to do it black and chrome/silver because i loved this version of the hunter and im gonna try for something similar. www.az-mall.com/santafefanco/1930%20black.jpg granted it wont be exact but i love the look of the black and chrome. |

I like the more traditional styled Original better than those, but for what those are those they were really ahead of their time when they came out.

You should have kept those canopies when you sold them!

If I had paid 75 dollars, I'd want the canopy.

I like the combination but prefer to keep them as original as possible, unless messed up. This is a Black / Nickel hunter I acquired a few years ago awesome pics and i can understand that, i think it should look good once im done. right now im considering if i want to sand blast/powder coat the parts or just spray paint them. powder coats more permanent but i worry about it or the sand blasting damaging any of the important parts and electrical wires. spray paint would be ok but some of the old paint is flaking off especially on the blade brackets, so i wouldn't want to paint directly on it and have the paint get messed up let alone it not always the most permanent solution :/ looking at my options atm still. hopefully gonna decide by next week. |

I don't know. The sand blast powder coat would indeed look awesome, you would just have to shield the electrical parts somehow. The look turns out nice when done right !!
