Hey everybody, just wanted to make a new thread (and account 
) since I got back into fan collecting after a 2 year break. For now I will just post new stuff I got recently, then later on I can post the older stuff I kept laying around.
First up is this 36" 3 Blade Sears Emerson Heat Fan I got off craigslist this weekend. It came with this huge stained glass light kit that seemed a bit disproportionate for this type of fan. It also has a switchhousing, which means that these things are 1 speed only (I think). Also this thing was a real pain to clean, 20 years of dust sure doesn't like to come off without a fight. And on top of that, the blade arms were nearly bolted shut onto the flywheel due to some rust on the screws. Good news is besides the switchcap, the fan is 100% complete and does not seem to have any noticeable damage
Fan before it was mine
After Disassembled and cleaned:

Currently Rigging a switchcap from my 36" original just for pictures sake:
Anybody know if this thing is K55 or K63?
Next up is a SMC Laguna model KB36. This thing was $3 at habitat, most likely because of the nearly broken blade (I just put some strong duct-tape on it to fix it a little bit) and because of a fangled ugly light kit it had on it. The mounting bracket is probably not original, but its ball/socket so it should be fine if I ever hang it. Also i'm not sure how only the downrod ended up green, while the rest of the finish on the fan is in quite good shape...

And Lastly is this Homestead wall control that was just hanging out in the lightswitch section of habitat as well. Never seen one of these before, would like to put it to good use eventually, I just need to find a homestead fan
And yes I got the hunter one too, person at the counter said I could have both for $5 so I thought why not
Will post more on the weekend
