In June 2021 I obtained this rare and unusual ivory 4 Saisons spinner 120 cm via Kijiji. It's the only one like it I've seen so far. These wide streight metal blades with the two lines on the sides and angular corners are generally rare on 4 Saisons but I had never seen them associated with this motor. This combinaison of thick flat motor with these cylindrical metal canopies are most commonly seen with three metal contoured blades, ususally 140 cm. Another unusual feature of this model is that it has it's technical sticker located inside the upper canopy rather than being on top of the motor. It came all complete down to the original 1980's 4 Saisons 4-speed wall control with heat sink and double claw hook. At first it was pretty dusty and had a lot of brown stains on it. I've managed to get rid of almost of all them by using a magic eraser, these white sponges that requires only water to get stains off. They surprisingly work a lot better than I expected them to. The original glossy ivory paint is now almost spotless. The bearings are in very good condition, it has an impressive spin down time especially for a fan that's turning 40 years old this year. Because this motor can be used to drive 140 cm blades, it is of course very powerful with 120 cm blades! Close to 300 RPMS on high! Enjoy!

Jean,
Beautiful fan that looks almost new! I too started using those "Magic Erasers" and was amazed at how well they cleaned. Definitely a safe way to clean the edges of wooden fan blades without removing the paint.
Thanks for posting and take care!
Jim

Cleaning it made the whole difference because it did not looked this nice when I acquired it.
