imgur.com/a/wh1IIVmY ALLO THAR. I found this site while searching for info on the fan posted above. Brand new in the box with blades. I want to install it, but should I? Do I dare disturb such an ancient machine? But seriously, I almost hate to install it. What would any of you do in this situation? I do know about that defect in the hangtru, but I do have a low profile adapter to use for now. Kind of need for my ceilings anyway.

If you need a ceiling fan in the space of installation, then you should install it. I wouldn't refrain by any means unless it involves other stipulations (like if you live in an apartment or house owned by a landlord). That is a Casablanca Constellation ceiling fan from 1992 (as the box says), not that ancient lol  These are more obscure for '90s Casablanca fans, and it's especially nice that you found one in brand new condition. The motor in it is most likely an Emerson K55 motor, which Casablanca used (along with occasional motors made by Astrosyn and/or Samsung for short stints) before around 1997, when Casablanca began using their own XLP motors in their fans. When it comes to new in box fans, unless you don't have a place for it, I would install it. Plus, if you can install them somewhere convenient temporarily and put them back in their boxes, it's good to let new-in-box fans get a little bit of use so that the motor "breaks in", by which I mean the bearings loosen up and the motor starts to spin more freely since all the lubricant has now been incorporated into the bearings. |

And just like what Noah C. Said, it is honestly up to you on whether you install the fan or not. Personally, being the Casablanca purist I am, I would not install that fan and preserve it as much as possible as value on Comfort Touch models in general will more than likely go up in the future. Now, I am not quite sure about it, but from the photos it does look like the hardware (bladearms, and badges) have been opened before? I mean if it is, I'd just go ahead and install the fan. Anyway, I am not sure how sturdy the Comfort Touch system really is when it comes down to longevity, but I've seen it being sporadic, I'd just be cautious about it because once the system fails, its a pain to find a replacement for cheap. |
