Face it.. just about everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, here has thrown a perfectly good fan into the trash, one way or another, at least once sometime in the past. As unfortunate as it is, it happens. Exactly. Maybe Jean will be a perfect person and be one of the few to not do it. But what has been done is done, there's no use dwelling on it because you can't change it. I've done it myself and regret it now, just really unfortunate some of us have to learn the hard way. Just because you're a collector doesn't mean you don't make mistakes regarding your collection.

Whoa this little comment has generated a lot of activity in a little amount of time. Well of course I meant that for a perfectly good fan, especially one that is not made anymore. With all the donations and charity places that exists, there is not excuse for throwing away good things that are still usable.
Jeremy ''heard'' is a way of expression in general. It's not necessarily used for the literal sense.

Mega Fan.. The bearings are sticky, but the real issue that seemed to make it slow was the capacitor. I swapped out the original 7.5 mfd with that of a 10 mfd and it now runs at a relatively normal speed. Backlog..

Very nice Mega Fan, and Low Profile.. I see you have a metal blade version of the TAT/Moss in the background..

Glad the Mega Fan arrived okay. Seemed like something other than the bearings was holding it up, like it had no kick to such a big motor. Super glad it was a remotely easy fix. Also like the LP, new in box is always great.

I see you have a metal blade version of the TAT/Moss in the background.. Why yes, yes I do.. ;D It is actually very powerful (like.. 'Gold Line' powerful).. and after swapping out the blades with an extra set from the warehouse, it is now perfectly balanced.

That 42" LP is a childhood fan of mine.

I also like the 4 blade 48/52" versions with the TAT style switch housings.. I wish I kept the two I found about 8 years ago, I have not come across these ever since..
