I only have two fans that have broken switch housings. A lasko and an Evergo. I found the Evergo in a dumpster. I didn't find the blades though, so I only have the white motor. And the Nutone Scoville was also made in antique brass. I saw a bunch of them at a restaurant in Ocean City, MD. They were mixed with a variety of different fans from the 70's to 80's era, like a couple old Fasco Charlestons, a few hampton bay landmark fans, and I think I also saw a Hunter there too. The Nutone had a bell canopy. Oh, you were talking about your Lasko again, I thought you were saying you had a Nutone. What Evergo do you have? Also, when you mentioned the AB bell canopy Nutone, you were talking about a Slimline or a Veranda?

The model number is 4E3LW-SBS. It had a combo pullchain like the Nutone had.
The Nutone I saw was an ornate Scoville. It had a bell canopy. There were at least eight of them where I went.

There were at least eight of them where I went. Scovill is not a model name, it is part of the brand name. Most or all Nutone fans say "Nutone Scovill" 'pon them. If it was ornate it was the Veranda series . . . Adam's is also the Veranda series. Older Verandas had bell canopies, those are the ones I like. Then they switched to the ball-socket, and eventually to the Veranda II with a rubber flywheel and K55.

Ryan Sipka is the person to talk to about Nutones Are you challenging my knowledge? But no, almost all of what I know about Nutones came from Ryan Sipka (and Chris Held).

Yes, that's what I thought it was, and I'm interested in seeing it. The only work you say it needs that might be a problem is the bearings. Capacitor and variable speed control are easy to replace. But any bearing problem that cannot be solved by cleaning and saturating them with oil is a big deal

Not really . Not only do I collect fans, I also collect electric motors. I can simply take a 1/2'' bearing off of a bad motor and put it in the ceiling fan and then it will work fine. The fan was fine when I bought it but it got damaged rather severely when water got into the entire fan. Yet so far, I haven't run into any bad winding damage yet. How good are you at motor repair? I personally draw the line at rewinding (although I have done it once or twice) and, as you mentioned, I only replace bearings when I have spares easily accessable . . . but every so often I run into a spinner motor that seems next to impossible to open up. Granted, I dont have a desk vice or any means to apply heat (propane torch, etc) so I'm somewhat limited in my means.
