Aidan's Acquisitions

[Aidan Shanidze]

So I went to this ReStore-type place called the Rebuilding Exchange. Fan wise, this place is a treasure trove.

What I bought:

1. Emerson Vectra in antique textured white (missing control)
2. Emerson Hardwood in white made by Sheng Yuan/Alaska (complete)
3. Emerson Apollo in antique brass (complete)
4. Antique brass 5 light kit (to be used for the Apollo)

Light kit on the Vectra is missing the cap and all arms are unfortunately busted.
I'm probably just gonna one day buy a Navajo white 4-arm light kit from Gulf Coast.

Regardless of these issues, I am very proud to have found these things. Love 'em to bits.

Awesome finds, Aidan!  Are Emerson's particularly common in your area, or was that simply a miraculous day fan hunting

Nice finds! Is the Vectra an Air Design fan?

I've stumbled upon the rebuilding exchange in chicago. They have some really good stuff. All fans I got were five dollars and the light kit I got was one dollar. That 5 light kit is going on the Apollo. They have a nutone decorator GEV 4 blade for 5 dollars but I didn't get that and they also have a PB 5 light kit with beveled glass shades.

I honestly think it was a coincidence. I've seen an emerson northwind designer at the chicago restore and a ton of various NIB 2000s-2010s emersons.
