I just got it today. The one that was on Kijiji. It was on St-Hubert Street, pretty much in the center. So it was not too far to get compare to the previous one. At first he wanted 20$ but he let me have it for 12$. He considered the travel and gas we did to get there. What a nice person. 
Its NIB. The motor was tested so the box have been opened, that's why the side of the motor have a few scratched. But the blades were still in their plastic. The blades are pretty glossy.
The box is labeled as Sears which makes total sens because theses were sold at Sears.(Also at Canadian Tire) It does not says SMC anywhere on it but its clearly one. All the parts are the same as a SMC. The sticker at the top says: ''Sears Canada Made in China.'' This one is dated of Jun 1989. The latest one with the mushroom light kit was sold for 28.99$ at Sears and about 24.99$ at Canadian Tire. It even says ''Economy ceiling fan'' on the box. Even if I know its cheap quality its still my favorite spinner(with switch housing) and the fan I wanted so much as a child. A little bit like Jeremy with his Friction Drives.
Something really weird is that it was missing the screws to hold the blades to the brackets so I use the one from my pink spinner which were still not original.(the silver ones) That's why each blade is missing a screw. But its safe with 2 screws. I'm gonna buy new ones exactly like it(I kept the box), they are prefect for ceiling fans to hold the blades with the brackets.
It have a little hum to it and the motor stops pretty fast. It wobbles only on high. The hum is worst on reverse. Maybe it needs oil? It spins pretty much like : 90/140/220. Pretty much like my pink spinner but it moves a little bit less air.
For the moment its in my bedroom but it might go in the office downstairs where the pink spinner is presently. I wanted to see what it would look in my bedroom just like if I would have get it back in the late 1990s. I will make a video of it soon.
