I went to the place that I thought had Casablanca Saturns. Turns out they were Delta IIs with Saturn light kits. The place was closed for a long time, the last time I was there was maybe 6 or 8 years ago. Now it's a Chinese Buffet, thank goodness since Chinese people don't remodel the spaces they rent, the fans may have been long gone in any other case. All I remembered was that there were fans with really cool and funky lights on them. I didn't originally know we were going there, so I didn't have my camera. There are four fans, and they're mounted REALLY low. There's the regular ceiling, then over the booths on either side of the restaurant it goes down, each fan is on a 2'x2' box about 2' down from the ceiling. I could easily get my hand caught in there without even trying. Whatever the case, the fans are still there. One was on when we were there, but I'm sure they all work well.

The fans are over the booths? Thats pretty cool. Normally they're over the main floor and the booths have pendant lights. Get pics if you can.

Well, this is bumping an ancient thread, but four years later I have pics of the Santa Cruzitas lol. I always remembered them being much smaller, like 29" but I guess they're the 40-whatever inch. 44"? My dad and I only started eating here recently again on a few Sundays since it's a harder place to get my mom into, this way we get seated on the side of the restaurant with these fans. The other side has Craftmade somethings, actually they might be the NuTone Decorators with the Craftmade-looking parts, not really sure as I haven't seen them for a long time. Apologies for never following up on some of the other sightings mentioned in this thread, I haven't been doing a lot of sightings since starting this thread four years ago and actually haven't been to many of those places since mentioning them as we usually went with my sister who liked some of the hole-in-the-wall places more than we did. Since she moved out of state we haven't been back, but I'll definitely get pics if I ever do get back to any of them. The antique store with the two ancient Victorians on the first page closed awhile back (sadly, I loved that place). I've been keeping an eye out to see if they do anything to the space, I'd love the fans if they're going to be removed.

That is a really, really awesome install. Those look like 38" which is the smallest size they came in.

This is a very cute installation. I like how the place seems to not have changed much since the early 1990's.
There's a lot of sightings I mentioned that I still have never taken too. Many of them it's because they are difficult to take without people seeing. They are in the kind of places that you get asked if I can help you as soon as you walk in.

You can say that again! I don't think they've done many, if any, changes since the 90s despite the place being under at least three different names/ownerships in that time. It's still the way I remember it when we ate there almost every Sunday morning after church in the late 90s-early 2000s.

Can't believe this, but I have another sighting. We're looking at some new flooring, so I snapped this Airmaster/(NuTone Proline) because there was like no one in there today. There are two of these in the front section of the store, and in the back portion are a few of the new style Prolines in brown. I also found an old Eskimo box fan while I was snooping, no pic of that or the brown NuTones though. This place is like literally a block and a half away from the diner that has the Homesteads.

When I was a kid, my least favorite industrials were Proline style: indented sideband, small circle in the center. Silver Lines, Prolines, ConTechs, Unions, etc. This was before Dayton/Leading Edges, Westinghouse/Encons, and all sorts of other crap industrials were made.
Now I love Prolines. Still hate Silver Lines tho.

You know, I didn't care for them all that much when I was younger either. I've always liked curved blades so even this style was something I liked, but my favorite were ones with rounded motors as in Canarms and TATs as well as the pointed motors of Gold Lines (saw a lot of Gold Lines as a little kid).
These ones here are childhood fans, we've always gone to this place for all our flooring needs so I grew up looking at those fans.

One more. On page 6 of this thread I posted pics of the Slimlines in the nightclub portion of this place. I Instagrammed this one a long time ago, it's in the actual restaurant part. Think there's five of them in a row, maybe only four. Pretty sure they bent a blade on each one to intentionally make them wobble slightly as they all have one really wacky blade.
