Added to Evergo Gallery. This is just like Andrew's ceiling fan, but white. Bought it today for five bucks at Faith Farm. Neat fan....Adam

What happened to the blade badges? They're missing on your fan. Oh, and the fan has nothing in the lower canopy, the capacitor is in the switch housing. And if you want a date for the fan, look at the forward/reverse pullchain. My fan is an '81. Yours probably is too.

Very very cool fan. I have two of those without the switch housing, but the variable speed control and whatnot is very cool. When I was younger and had first got the non-switch-housing version, I always wanted to design a version with a switch housing, I still have sketches somewhere. Wonder how much they look like the actual.

Yes I noticed there is not a capacitor in the lower canopy. I guess the factory decided to leave the lower canopy on those models, to make it easier to make the fans..

The motor on my fan is multi purpose. There would have been a capacitor in the lower canopy if the fan motor was used without a switch housing, kind of like the fan in the pic on the yahoo group. There is a flat spot on the botom of the motor where the switch housing connects to the shaft.

Adam's fan doesnt have a flat spot, other than the threaded hole in which the decorative nut would attach on a switch-housing-less fan. There were different Evergos made with a flat plate on the bottom instead of a nut, it attached with three screws.

The replacement motor I have in my working fan has the same model listed but the motor is a bit different. The motor casing is made of aluminum, meaning it is lighter. And there is a flat spot on the bottom of the motor.

There is a hair salon near me that has one of these fans in it. It is painted over white, it was probably originally brown. The store that has it is right next to a beer/soda store that used to have a 56'' dayton/lasko in it. My town doesn't have alot of fans, but the ones it does have are odd and/or rare.

My Leslie-Locke with the odd shaped blades (no switch housing) has an aluminum motor, but it's larger than the aluminum motors with the little plates on the bottom. I also have a good plenty with the cast motor and conventional blades. And the 36" with the odd blades has a cast motor.

Yes, but you never know when you'll turn around and they'll be gone. It happened to I cant tell you how many fans I *loved* . . . in this day and age, of cheap fans with fancy Home Depot designs, they're all getting replaced. Grab what you can!

The nearest home depot or lowes around me is at least eight miles away. Plus, nothing ever changes in my town anyway. The same fans stay up even when a store closes up and a new one moves into the vacant store.
