Encon, Tyeb, Casa Vieja fans added to Yahoo

[JW]

Went home this weekend for Mother's Day and got pics of the rest of our older fans for the gallery:

Tyeb gallery:
42" 6 blade Model HF (funny, the 52" 4 blade had the exact same label). Spinner motor.

Casa Vieja gallery: 52" 5 blade Premiere Edition "Turn of the Century" fan. Direct knockoff of the Casablanca Victorian, and judging from the top of its motor vs. the top of a Victorian, I'm pretty sure it's K55.
I replaced the blades with Casablanca blades to match the rest of the room. If anyone wants the original blades (dark cherry?) let me know.

Encon gallery: 56" 5 blade Imperial. Probably Encon's last good fan before they went to pot. Basically a Concord Madison with 56" blades. Has a spinner motor, but it's about as big as the ones in the Tyebs. Dead silent too.

Does the Casa Vieja "Turn of the Century" have a flywheel?

[JW]

Yep, it's a rubber 4/5 blade flywheel.

Cool. It does sound like a K-55. Does the top of the housing have any sort of sticker that says something about the motor being made by Emerson?

They have been moved.



I expected the Encon to have footprint vents!

Nope, Concord builder fans have footprint vents (and the REALLY cheap ones have even smaller footprint vents!)

The Madison is, or at one point was, their most powerful "traditional" model (188mm motor), and had the exact same vents and brackets. I believe Quorum QXL's have these vents, and I know I've seen them on Sierras as well.

Encon made some builder fans with footprint vents . . . anyhow those vents are pretty common. Design House made a cool 6 blade fan with them, Sierra and Sonica and Quorum and a number of other import showroom brands . . . not bad looking fans.

[color Nice fans! I really like the 42"inch ceilling fan with the GE vents. Ceiling fans with GE vents are my favorite. ;D
