I recently got a vintage in box never opened "view fan". I put it all together and it runs but wobbles like crazy despite the blades being balanced and it makes loud scraping and buzzing noises. Any ideas?

Any ideas? Maybe a blade screw or something else in the fan is slightly loose or Maybe you need to oil the fan |

View fans are notorious for horrible bearings. Even when new. Could be that. As for wobble. A balancing kit will help.

I have never worked with one. I wouldn't recommend taking it apart now though. The pin striping on the fan will get damaged. I would wait to see if anyone with more experience has any tips.
