Skeletal motor or stack motor? Whatever it is, it's still a boss original.

It's from 1998.
Stack motor? It's the standard American style motor, it's in the American style box, after all.

They never had a stack motor Original. The pre-2002 42" Originals had a stack motor, which was basically a modified Comfort Breeze motor.

I'm sure whatever importer Hunter was using made them, as it's been covered before, pre-2002 Original series fans weren't fully made in America to begin with. I will also clarify for those who haven't seen one, it's not a stack motor in the traditional sense of the term, rather a stack motor by construction and principle of operation. These motors are like the innards of a stack motor implanted into the Original housing, instead of being a fully self-contained unit like a K63, K55, or XLP motor.

Last find here. Took me awhile to get this one ready because I basically had to rebuild the fan due to missing parts. Originally it was an Emerson Raphael with the alabaster glass, however the lower glass was missing. I assume it was broken at some point, because the inner light pans were bent to all hell, and the threaded rod for the glass was completely broken off. Emerson's parts people don't have any alabaster glass stuff left, but they had Tiffany parts, so I went ahead with converting it to a Raphael Tiffany. Of course, since the rod for the light was broken off, the finial was missing as well. As per typical, the weathered bronze parts are depleted, so the closest I could get was AB. I'll probably paint it someday, or find something else that would be a suitable replacement, but for now it doesn't look too bad. I didn't even think about it at the time of purchase, but the control system it originally used was completely missing too, so I got a new Emerson SR400 remote control system for demonstration. Works great with the fan and I like the system, so lack of the original control system wasn't a big deal for me. Just a little sidebar here, but I found this a rather annoying fan to assemble. Not hard, just annoying. Inside the light pans, particularly, is just total stupidity. It's like a little cluster of connectors that is totally unnecessary. I rewired mine to get all the pointless little connectors out of there, moved those connections up under the downrod coupler cover, and left just the light wires behind in the lower portion. Much easier assembly now, I can't believe Emerson couldn't come up with something better themselves. Yes, I did install it with four blades, but I wouldn't ever realistically install it this way because, as you can see, it leaves a pretty clear view of the motor between the blade arm gaps. Also installed it with the B52HCR blades, since I thought this was the kind of fan that might suit them. I don't know, I think they look pretty good on this fan, but I'm sure the "standard blade purists" will hate them lol. Here's the SR400 control And the original upper glass. You can see all the stupid little connectors in this picture, now it's just the white and blue wires left since I converted it.

Beautiful fan...what I directed my mother towards as she has a sweet spot towards tiffany ceiling fans. And I am surprised... The fan uses the slightly larger 140×33mm K55XL motor. And the 4 blade configuration on that thing is hilarious!

In addition, I actually think the art deco blades look excellent on that fan; it just looks like they go together better.

My favorite configuration is with the 5 B52HCR blades.. Looks really nice.. Is the light more colorful in person than in the pictures?

Slightly... I saw one at a showroom in Murrieta, CA before it was discontinued. And the art deco/decorative blades that Cole showed on the second showing make the fan look more complete.
