It looks dangerous the way the Lasko was installed. I know! It actually performs very well with the short blades; in fact, it actually spins faster. I figured that would be the case. These motors are reasonably powerful even with the full size blades on it. Could you make a video of it?

I never knew those have a reverse switch under the lower canopy.. I think there is a place locally that has them installed with the blades upside down..

Thanks for the video! That definitely runs much faster than typical, at least on high. I'm surprised the extra speed hasn't put more wear on the bearings. I wonder how they cut the blades, they did a great job, they're in perfect balance. The bell canopy does look good on there. I wish they actually made a smaller size of this, I'd get one for my office (it gets really hot in there) but at 60" the blades would be about a foot from the closest wall. I never knew those have a reverse switch under the lower canopy.. I think there is a place locally that has them installed with the blades upside down.. Were they running in reverse? If they were, its recommended to install the blades that way. I knew these were reversible, but I'd never actually seen the switch before. I think they did that because due to the plastic blades they tend to appear in residential applications from time to time.

So the past eight days have been...interesting. Blades, what blades? Yeahhh, it's one of THOSE things... BUT WAIT, THERE'S MOAR...[/dr. weird] Sooo, two lunatics got loose in the local looney bin AAAND then this happened... I finally got another Proline Actually, two.. but this one's turning into a major pain in the ass. Waterlogged fans are FUN[/sarcasm]. I also got two of these beasts: 60" cast-aluminum Leading Edges, labeled 'Mirage.' Oh look, another one of those 3-speed Dayton/Leading Edge turds. This one is dated 7/3/1999. The bearings were gummed up (typical), but Zoom-Spout Oiler is very effective. And yet another antique brass Charleston.. wheee. One of the blades is split, so I'm not quite sure what I'll do with it. So I decided to hit a Habitat I hadn't been to before...and it sucked. However, I left with one of those powerful little CEC spinners (albeit beat-up) and a set of Emerson 1895 blades with brown blade irons for a total of $5.

Love the Jab Union/Evergo things.. Always like those Dayton Leading Edge fans.. Looney bin meaning it was a metal hospital or something? Those cheap CEC thingys pop up often here.. I don't ever get them.. I've got a motor that's going to get junked.. I've got a set of similar 1895 series blade brackets with darker blades that I probably will never a db motor...

I love that CEC spinner! The Dayton 60" is cool too, those motors are enormous. That's the nastiest stator I've ever seen.

I'd consider buying the split blade Charleston if you decide to part with it.

The Jabs are awesome. I was hoping you would fix the blades on them. They are going down a lot. Theses fans looks good with the blades going a little up.
The brown vented spinner is very cute. I love the finish on the blades with the stencil, the contrast is good. Poor little fan.
The finish on the Emerson blades is awesome. I didn't know it was possible to see 1895 Series blades in this finish.

If I remember correctly I think that those were talked about before in reference to them being a NuTone slimline, or the later slimlines look like that.. All the ones I've seen all had a label similar to that made in Taiwan label.. Seen them under store labels too, I believe they were made in 1986..
That place looks something that would be seen on the Travel channel with their ghost adventures..

Yeah, the Slimline IIs were probably made by one of the Taiwan factories. Mid-late 80s sounds about right for these 36" things.

Oh look, my first Summer Breeze.. and the price was right, at all of $3. Now you're probably wondering, why the hell do I have this? Simple.. it was all of $2 at Habitat, so this turd followed me home. Another Dayton, this one a 48". Dated 1991. The only sizes I don't have right now are 36" and the mythical 72". I finally found my childhood New Fan. Oh look, another abando-fan! This one's an OLD 42" Emerson Northwind, made by Alaska.
