I got this at the beginning of June while I was in Granby, QC. A pretty rare Quatre Saisons metal blade model. It's made around the same this as this model and uses mostly the same parts except for the motor that is very different. The canopies are metal. It's my first fan with this type of motor. A thai motor that was later adopted by Taiwan too.
I first saw this model NIB on eBay in 2005. I believe it was located in Nova Scotia. Until I get this one I had never seen one in person. They are very uncommon and seem to have no logical places where to see them more than others places. They are scattered here and there. Although there is this cool photo of three of them in an abandoned loft in Montréal. The lady I got them from said her husband brought them from Abitibi to sell them in Granby so they came all the way from there.
It's in very good condition and it works very well. That's the original ivory paint on it. It take a long time to spin down.
It moves so much air without having to spin very fast with these contoured blades and with the motor being 0,65 amps which is rather low for an 140 cm fan from the 1980's. I probably get 185 rpms on high speed at most. It makes a very deep helicopter sound and has a very cool speed up sound on high.
Here it is spinning. Listen carefully to the speed up sound. I made an up close. I also show what under the lower canopy for those who like to see this.
Enjoy!

This is the first time I have seen an up-close view of this model. Needless to say, excellent find!
