Old Tats at My Local DMV

[Adam D.]

These have been there as far back as i can remember.. One was replaced, I believe sometime in the early 2000s with a Hugger.. I do remember going in and Remembering that one was Replaced..Check them out

This is a 36 or 42 inch.. the rest are 48 or 52 inch..

Large ones..





The Hugger that Replaced one, Looks to be Hampton Bay?



And in the back where the yellowish lighting is, there is a 24k S.M.C. (Same as the on in link).. I wasn't able to take a picture of this one, but the original blades were not on this fan

Thanks, and from the road in the parking lot in the next room on the side of the building I saw more 24k S.M.Cs through the blinds.. I noticed the other DMV in Lantana use to about 5 of these 24ks in the main area, when i went 2 years ago to a duplicate of my license, but the next time i went about a year ago, they all were taken out...

Very cool. I love that kind of motor.

[Jean Lemieux]

Yeah the TAT Monterey! Great to see that they are still there. They use what I think Dan call the Pancake motor. Made In HK. Same motor as the Moss WF Series use.

The hugger is a Harbor Breeze Armitage 52''. Special edition no light kit included, 5 blades.

Very cool to see fans of this vintage still installed in such a public place. I wish we could see the SMC.

[Adam D.]

I'll see about getting a pic of it

[Adam D.]

Went back today to get a copy of my Drivers License and all but one Tat are gone.. I'm standing on the opposite side of the room from the previous photo where the soda machines are at.. One wasn't replaced but oddly the canopy is still there.. The replacement hugger is still there from the previous visit.



The new second replacement is in this photo and in the other room you can see the SMC.



The SMC. Mug shot time. Say Cheeeese..

I found some old photos from 2010. Was in between the time of the photos in this thread. At that time I did get better shots of the SMC. I thought I posted these but I guess I totally forgot or maybe I did in another thread..

Cool pics! Too bad the one Tat was replaced by an HB Armitage 52" and one by an HB Grayton II without its light kit Too bad they left a canopy in place but no fan At least the SMC and some of the Tats are still there! Maybe inquire in case they ever remove/replace them.

My local DMV has no fans, just a King of Fans HV pedestal.

Find some pieces of crap somewhere and offer to replace the remaining fans.

I've thought of that... But a government place like this? good luck.. I guess it doesn't hurt to try though..

[fancollector12]

Yeah there may be some liability issues but if you sign a disclosure statement saying you won't sue, they may give in.

[Adam D.]

The only way they would probably consider, is if I go and buy them or give them something to replace and they take the old ones down and I come pick them up when they are ready.. I doubt that they would let some Joe Schmoe off the streets come in and do any kind of electrical work..
