More cool fans on Ebay

[ceilingfansmalta]

Hi all, long time since I posted!

I found this O.Erre 1200 mm ceiling fan on ebay:

O.Erre 120 mm

It uses the usual label with 3 letters as Crompton, 3rd letter being "N". I wonder which Crompton factory that refers to.

This one has a removable shackle unlike the usual O.Erre seen before. The rubber part is missing, but it actually has the typical old Crompton "bolt" made up of a single pin, with a split pin on each side. (Like Relite Rapide MKII). I guess it has the rotor permanently fixed to the motor body?


I also found this Orieme New in Box:

Orieme New

This one is only 45 Euro, but I think the blades are not available, however if I can see correctly, they probably use the usual Relite Rapide MKII shanks. The blades on this model have wide tips as opposed to Relite.(almost like the ones on Crompton Aura  and Jura)

interesting fans!

the Oerre is dated in February 1989 and has the smaller high breeze motor! earlier i thought they switched to smaller motor in end of 1989, but seeing this confirms hat they manufactured 2 different sizes for 56", 48" and 36" in the late 80s

these are relabeled crompton greaves high breexe

the N at the end refers to the industry it was manufactured in india, G is goa, N im not sure

i like how its written made in italy while we know its made in india lol

the rotor is permanently fixed into the motor body

OK thanks for the info! I actually tried ordering the High Breeze one, but the seller does not ship to Malta unfortunately. 

I am now getting a bit confused: When you said that Relite Rapide MKII had a different variation of its motor, where you referring to the one like this O.Erre, or to the usual Relite Rapide MKII motor (the one which I featured in my videos)?

Also, I made a new discovery on Crompton Riviera, O.Erre's newer model of Oasis R, and also Nawaloka (as I saw on Youtube). There are actually two different designs on Crompton Riviera: One particular design, I think, tends to have a defect in the shaft that makes it get stuck and makes the windings burn out! The one I have, seems to have the problem rectified, as the bottom of the motor is slightly different. On the other hand I am noticing that it does make the slight "wong-wong" noise as I have heard people calling it on Youtube! I hope the shaft is not going bad already!

Also (unrelated to this thread) I am trying to find the retailer in Malta who used to import Havells and Vision fans, but I have had no luck yet!

I know that Relite fans were imported by Calleja Ltd. but started getting S&P instead, as Relite "stopped contacting" the shop one year. I am guessing Relite stopped production that year.
