Since a few other people are making one thread a year for their fan acquisitions, I'm doing the same just for convenience. To begin, I got this SMC-made Hampton Bay Minuet II from March 2000 at my local habitat restore a month ago. It's wobbly and has noisy bearings (typical of SMC products).  Yesterday, I went back to my local Restore and got this Casablanca Delta II in Bright Brass and a set of antique oak replacement blades. It was at Habitat for several months and had a few bent blade arms.  Installed with the original walnut blades (note the bent blade arms).  ...and with the antique oak replacement blades. The blade arms that were included with this set are actually a darker shade of brass than the original blade arms.  Close-up of the motor tag. The fan was manufactured on February 23, 1987 and was the 441st fan made that day.  Video (with the replacement blades). |

It has a recalled Hang-Tru which means that it can stretch and cause fan to fall. It's rare though and usually happens on slanted ceiling.

Got some backlog for y'all! About three weeks ago, I went to Fanimation for their spring trip. I got two Beverly Hills Fan Co. Trouts at a Habitat restore in Lebanon, TN on the way to Fanimation, a white Monte Carlo Micro from Louis Weedman, a white Minka Aire Roto from Metal Pete, an aged bronze Fanimation Edgewood Deluxe Wet as a return, and a Fanimation Mini Breeze and Baby Breeze as part of the trip.  First, the Mini Breeze. It's a pretty handy fan for when you're at a computer. It moves a decent amount of air for one person.  Minka Aire Roto. It was missing its original mounting hardware so I used my Minuet II's hardware.  Beverly Hills Fan Co. Trout. These are pretty rare nowadays. I gave the other one to Dan Neuman to put in the museum.   Monte Carlo Micro. This one was difficult to install. It churns out air though!  Fanimation Edgewood Deluxe Wet. It was missing its mounting ball and downrod, so I used the ball and downrod from my Minuet II again.  |

NICE!
I like them all. The Roto is pretty darn cool, I've never seen one before. How is it for airflow?

The Edgewood has a really high CFM/airflow rating. Does it live up to it? I'm not entirely sure. It seems to spin more slowly due to the bigger blades. Its max RPM rating is 159 on high and its blade pitch is 16°, so it's about the same as your Hampton Bay Sauterne. |

Are those Trout fans reasonable quality?

Are those Trout fans reasonable quality? Reasonable is a fair assessment. They're the same as any 80s or 90s Beverly Hills or Design house, which is the same as most spinner motor Homesteads or Hunters (before Hunter became junk) |
