2017 Pickups and Finds

[skateboardb617]

So by chance, I ended up meeting up with Charles Smith. In exchange for some money, i bought off him a Pastel Navajo Delta II (July 1991) and a white 4 blade only electrically reversible Original (also from 1991). The Delta II has an Astronyn Motor, so there was a massive capacitor in the switch housing. Unfortunately the cap was so big, it couldnt fit the pull chain for the light kit knockout, or the center stem in the K4S that was with the fan. So for now, the light kit was hardwired to turn on with my switch. No canopy so im on the hunt for one. The original was in good condition mechanically. One blade arm is bent upwards slightly and the fan itself is pretty yellowed. SO what im going to attempt to do is restore it when i get the chance. the blades (pickled oak and white) are also not in the best condition. may paint them black if im so inclined to. No canopy so I gave it the sloped canopy that came with one of my other originals (still have to fix the crack in the bottom of the plastic portion





































So after a horrible day at work, i went out with my friends to the mall. While we were about to leave, i went onto the facebook marketplace and spotted this free original that screamed to be picked up. So i drove an hour from our mall to Malborough, MA to pick it up. Sellers told me that they wanted one with a light kit so they took out the whole fan lol. Turns out it's from 1984, 3 speed, ReverseAire blade arms with an isolation ring. Unfortunately there was no canopy so now im on the hunt for one of those too (also no u bracket or bushing). she works so well. May need to find a better light kit for it though. if anyone has any extra AB Hunter Canopies (sloped or standard) please let me know. I'd love to complete this



she needs a deep cleaning

Jack Conner blessed me with something i think i love. A NIB AB CT Panama from July 2001. This is my first ComforTouch control and i am IN LOVE with it. I also had to pay homage to go Conner by doing the AB/Matte Black combo. It screams to be in a bedroom immedately lol. definitely when I get my own place. with this light kit, it just looks extremely classy. Like a perfect combo of modern and vintage











As a thank you from Charles for going to maine to get the blades from his antique haul, he gave one an oddity. This is a 3 speed Four Seasons from May 1989. Straight from the factory as well. So im guessing it was a parts fan (along with the other 5 that Charles got). The 3 speed wasnt an option for this fan at all surprisingly. Unfortunately the light kit is messed up but I finally figured out a way to fix it lol. Used a K5L for the video
