2008 SMC KS56 ceiling fans

[Tais]

got these from the scrapyard, 5 in total, 4 were perfectly fine without capacitors which I got them replaced and the one that had its capacitor wasn't working, these are one of the newer models of SMC that I really like!

of those, 3 are dated in may 2008 and 2 are dated in june 2008

they tend to hold some vintage SMC value in some way, not sure how to explain that

I love this newer SMC model too. I see what you mean by the fact that they look like some of the older SMC's. Their blades are pretty wide and one of the sides is pitched. They seems to move an excellent amount of air. Are they better or equal to current SMC K56?

This same motor is used on a current Hampton Bay metal blade model.

I agree, there is a certain vintage appeal with these. A unique motor shape, slightly wider blades, solid curved tip. Those details make the difference.

they arent as wide as they look, but they do have the ability to deliver some good air! these blades work very well with newer SMC fans which can't handle aluminum blades

i am not sure if this model continued production after 2008 or not, but the 2009 onwards models of SMC that used the same blades had a different much skinnier version with dent and an "original" stamp on the blades as seen in this video
