Alright folks so over the course of about 3 or 4 months iv been digging fans out of this house that burnt down. the people were hoarders so prettty much anything they owned in the 20 so years they lived there. was on the property. so iv found 15 fans so far. heres the first batch. 1992 Lakewood 200/i. had a busted blade and a Cheapo Galaxy/Lasko motor in it. (this fan is in the works of being restored.)  1992-93 Galaxy model 3713. this fan was parted out. due to a rusted out frame.  1960's Windsor model C-14. this was the first one i found. it later lead to the rest. this fan runs perfectly i plan to fix it up soon.  1996-97 Lasko model 3723. this one had a dead motor. but i used a spare i had and got it running.  1999-00 Lasko 3723 probably one of my favorite finds from there. it has the full sized motor and runs great!  1990 Lakewood 200/i. this is after i re painted this. the motor was dead in this and it was missing the blade. but i had both a spare blade and motor and got it going.  thats it for wave one. ill post wave 2 in a little while. |

Heres wave 2. 1970's Hoover "Multipurpose" 1 speed box fan. all this needed was cleaned and oiled. came out nice!  1986 Robeson Reversible box fan. motor needs a new capacitor. should run.  1989-90 Galaxy 3713 Gray Bladed Model. found this along with the 1st 2 in the barn. this fan is awaiting a new motor  2004-05 Galaxy 4733. this was just a frame. but i had a spare blade and motor from anther one i found there. put it in this. it died about a week into having it..LOL  2007-08 Galaxy 4733. this has got to be the nastyest fan iv ever seen. and yet it still ran! it was parted out and the motor went into a 2008-09 3733  2007 Optimus Stand Fan. nothing that great. but i got it running. it was seized up. but now its running fine!  |

That first one is quite the odd combination. I wonder how the cheesy Lasko motor would have handled that blade.

When did you find that one? I've never seen a non-labeled Cool Breeze before.. Looks like mid-2000s to me..

I got it about a week after i got that Country Aire window fan. just never got around to posting it here. LOL i thought it was a neat fan. if it would have been in better shape and ran. i would have kept it. |

The final round of fans from this place. they finally tore it down. but before they did i helped the owner get stuff he wanted out of there. and i the process i got some more fans.. early 2000's Lasko Breeze Machine.  Various other small fans. Duracraft DB-10,Wexford 10" box fan and a Windmere DF-7  And by far the coolest find. a 1st gen Lakewood S-223 in Terracotta.  |

That terra-cotta Lakewood is dope! That Wexford does look a fair bit like the Lakewood 10/PBX.. Wonder if that blade is original to there,, it looks a little small.. Neat color of the breeze machine too..

Neat color of the breeze machine too.. The terracotta S223 was by far my favorite find from there. the Wexford had a clear blade. but it was all busted up. the blade thats on it now came off a Holmes twin window fan i parted out. |
