So I've seen these on Craigslist once every five or six months for the better part of last year, and they were priced at something like $50 per fan. It was one of those things where when they were listed the price came down slightly each time.. I talked to the seller then and he would not come down to $20 at that time.. treasure.craigslist.org/hsh/5390033641.htmlI got them down to $20 per fan The king of Fans looks nothing like whats pictured on the box.. Box shows an older fan.. Whats in the box has an one inch downrod, and pretzel blade brackets, clearly looks like a later 80s fan.. Motor is different and there is a much wider gap between the motor and switch housing.. I'm not keeping this fan.. It's for sale if anyone wants it.. It was defiantly in my mind that there was a 50/50 chance when I was picking this thing up that it was going to look much different than whats pictured.. I didn't want to open it in front of the seller and say, oh I don't want it.. So it's gotta go.. The View Fans are from 1986, as the date code says on the warranty card..

I had a feeling that weird little GE-vent I got a while back was a View-Fan, nice to have confirmation.

Too bad for the King of Fans not being the same as what's on the box. The fan shown on the box would have been very cool to have. Five stencil blades. Wow! At least the switch housing seems as chunky as on the box.
The View Fans are very cute. I hope they are exactly like on the box.

I had a feeling that weird little GE-vent I got a while back was a View-Fan, nice to have confirmation. I was wondering where I saw another one of these.. I've seen pics before somewhere, and I think even a video.. Too bad for the King of Fans not being the same as what's on the box. The fan shown on the box would have been very cool to have. Five stencil blades. Wow! At least the switch housing seems as chunky as on the box. The View Fans are very cute. I hope they are exactly like on the box. The switch housing is actually smaller than the one on the box, and less rounded bottom Love the view fans, when do we get to see those out of the box? As soon as I can get video and pics.. I've got many other fans in front of them.. It could be months..
