I remember the motor being similar to this, or a golden fan / New fan... That's all I can remember..

What an awesome find,, especially for free! The blades are so steep.. Must move a ton of air..

What an awesome find,, especially for free! The blades are so steep.. Must move a ton of air.. Yes they have a lot of pitch and it moves an insane amount of air especilly with a 1.4 amps motor as shown in the video.

Thanks. The regulator seems to be a year older than the fan. The logo on it is the wavy flag just like the original one that is on the lower canopy it's just the lettering is a little different. If you noticed on the tag on top of the motor, it also has a different much older SMC logo. They were using a lot of different types of versions of the logo depending where on the place it's placed. I noticed that you have a regulator very similar to this except with plastic screws or pieces of places to hide the screws. For the extension pole I guess it's normal that it's made differently than on the K series because this isn't part of the K series even though it's very similar. Have you ever seen a SMC K with this lower canopy? I believe mine are the same: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaPOVEj9jIEwww.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ4snuQXzNswww.youtube.com/watch?v=3XN4A6ZCRBkI believe that by 1977 they had started to make slight modifications to the motor and or blade pitch but other than the tags they seem pretty similar.

1974-1977 versions have threadless downrods, but many 1976 versions have threaded downrods.. thick downrods were introduced in 1974 but was not seen after the 1977 models
Towards the end of 1977, there were smaller cast motors same size as 1978-1989 models

I associate thinner poles with newer SMC's. Thanks for the infos. I believe you have a 1977 model with a smaller motor than the ones from the early to mid 1970's.

A little update. I tested this fan for the first time with it's original controller and like I expected it with a transformer 5-speed controller, all the speeds are very fast and 5 is the slowest like on newer SMC controllers. It does not go any slower than 100 RPMS. The control buzzes particularly loudly. Of course for a regular use this fan is much more appreciable with a capacitor controller like you saw in the video.
