On Sunday evening after returning home from Canby Grove, I was on Craigslist looking for fans I want. When I saw the listing, it was a Snow White/Chrome Saturn, so I immediately jumped on it and the seller dropped it off at my house yesterday. I'm very happy to finally have a Casablanca Spirit Of Saturn, it has been my long wanted Casablanca fans, it also came with a W-31 InteliTouch control.
Post-recalled plain Hang-Tru, it originally had a stepped/tiered recalled Hang-Tru, but the canopy at some point was swapped
DB07395 = April 7, 1992. Was the 395th fan made in that day
21G511T = bought from Home Depot
Unfortunately, the middle and top acrylic ring has a crack in it, but not on the outside edge, so a replacement one will have to be made using an acrylic laser cutter in the future
The diffuser cap popped off with no effort
White wire frayed in the switch housing Motor running without blades |

After cleaning up the fan, gluing back the diffuser cap to the center glass with epoxy, and giving new light leads in the switch housing, the fan is installed and working. Had to use the 150 watt halogen bulb from one of my Venus fans as the halogen bulb that came with the fan burnt out. 4 blades
5 blades |

Nice find... were the blade sides with the stripes damaged at all? Do you think you'll revert the electronics to W-11 since it was made during the 3 button era? Where do you think you'll hang this?

The pinstripe blades was discontinued in 1991. I'll leave the InteliTouch system the way it is since it works for me. I'm thinking about dethroning the Hunter Norden in my dad's room. |

Nice find. It was interesting seeing the light kit taken apart, I don't think I've seen it up close before. Is it a halogen bulb there?

The halogen bulb that came with the fan was burnt out (shown when the diffuser cap popped out), so I used the 150 watt halogen bulb from one of my Venuses. I do have more photos of my Saturn being cleaned up. |
