update 2/21/2017
sorry its been a while been busy with work ad other things. heres whats happened since the last update
starting off is this hunter tuerk ceiling fan that has been rewound and customized by phil frey. (im currently looking for a set of tuerk blade arms and a ornate tuerk faceplate for this fan) fan is currently in my collection
next is this 1978/1979 brass original. this one was in great shape and has since been added to my collection and now bears a ornate ivy faceplate.
from the same house came this 36" brass adapt air original. this one was also in good shape and is part of my collection now
here is a 42" tiwan made original. got it to see how it preformed. has since been sold to my local friend Chris.
a week latter i got 6 36" dayton lasko industrials. love these fans and i have kept 1 of the 6 fans. the other 5 have homes already. mine has the unusual curved blades
later that week i traded my raw iron original for this black hunter 2nd century original from Chris. this fan originally came from perreys storage unit. since i saw Chris get it ive wanted it XD, im glad to have it now (it is complete but i didn't test it with the canopy installed) another great addition to my collection
that same day i came across this intelitouch casablanca zephyr. works good. probably will be for sale
a week later i got my 4 new in box industrials. 2 white and 2 brown. basically relabeled moss Caribbean breezes. all 4 are part of my collection
the week after i got this antique diehl ceiling fan. fans was well taken care of and works great. sadly the switch was busted so i converted it to single speed for use with a wall control and made a switch cap for the bottom. i plan to repaint it some day in the future. as of now its part of my collection
i also got this brown and brass 1979/1980 original from Adam in west palm beach. this fan ran good and has since been sold to chris.
finally got around to completing this 36" black original. was looking for a good set of blade arms and a canopy. this one in particular hauls ass. i have since added it to my collection.
i then picked up a pair of mathew fan co fans. one has a bad motor and im seeing about getting a replacement. as for the one that worked, i hacked the bottom half (orignaly some kind of light kit) and made it a 2 speed fan with a pull chain. i also painted it black. i have since added it to my collection as well
the next week i found a 60" white original (my second 60" now) and is now in my collection as the only white original.
i also found this 52" original at the same place. this one was also sold to my local guy chris.
and right next door i found this 42" brass original. this one is sold as well to mathew.
i finally got part to complete this antique brass 36" original. thanks again to brian hicks. i ahve since added it to my collection with a set of "C" brackets instead of the revers air brackets.
i got this brown adapt air, 2 ornate ivy plates and the set of antique brass 36" C brackets from a couple who run a authorized hunter fan service center here in Florida still. this was part of a trade for some working 36" and 42" original motors i had. (below you can see the ivy plates have been installed on the brass 1978/1979 original and the 1981 antique brass adapt air original.
i got this 1886 in a trade with Wesley down near Disney. mainly got it for this wing tip, solid wood blades as i plan to use them on my R-52. the fan has since sold on craigslist with the codep blades shown on it below.
lastly is another brass original. this one has also been sold to chris.
since then ive been cleaning my shop area and now have it cleaned and a lot of extra shelf space now. ( all the fans you see on the bottom 2 shelves are being sold to another collector Friday.)
and thats about it for this update. as always videos can be found on my you tube channel HERE
I wouldn't sit the bottoms of any spinners on the bare concrete like that.. I always put cloth material under spinners like that to preserve the original finish as much as possible.. I would think those industrials would be from the 70s.. I don't think those numbers coordinate any date.... Surely if one has 93" in it..
