Nice finds! You and Martin are lucky! We have nothing like that around where I live.

That SMC hugger with the Laguna switch housing is probably one of the rarest things made by SMC.. Love the Slimline, and the 42" Moss Heirloom or Hi Line..

First find is up and live on YouTube: the allen + roth Eastview. It cleaned up good and works fine, only issue was a dying remote battery that caused it to work intermittently. Did some touch-ups on the finish where it was badly scratched. So many screws on these things, it's actually kind of ridiculous how much it takes to get it apart. Very direct air movement of course, but it's powerful and by today's standards the motor is enormous for a blade of this size. youtu.be/IbF96_Zppqg

Very very nice finds! That Allen and Roth is a pretty cool fan to say! I also love that blue backlight on the logo of the remote.

That turned out nicely! I like the Eastview, anything designed by Fanimation will be high-quality!

I have one of those ancient U42s, mine is a bit different though, different switch housing and only has one pullchain which is Forward/OFF/Reverse/OFF, its single speed.

Tons of great stuff here! That SMC hugger is really interesting.. Did the blades come with it?

Blades are sitting right by it, the early U42s used those weird flat blade arms.

Here is the Regency Solano after cleaning. It was obviously installed or at least stored in a very wet environment for some time, as there's some prevalent interior surface rust. Bearings are totally done for and the finish on the edges of the blades has deteriorated, but it otherwise cleaned up amazingly well. I haven't gone about trying to fix any of the little issues yet, maybe someday I will. If it weren't for the fact that this is a childhood fan from my catalog, I probably wouldn't even be bothering with it, but I can't say that I've ever even seen one of these in person before so I think it's worth salvaging. Interestingly enough, the label on top is clearly from the same OEM as the Menards Turn of the Century Arabesque I picked up in the trash last year.

Out of curiosity, who manufactured it, along with that Turn Of The Century Arabesque?

Comfort Breeze is clean! Bearings replaced, flywheel (barely) intact. It was sitting on the blades when I got it, so the flywheel had rather a rough time, but I salvaged it for now. Added the round globe myself, think it suits this fan perfectly. Cleaned up really well, there are some scratches but nothing too bad.
