What an awesome haul, that's great that you were able to save that Century. Do you document these abandoned places you've visited?

The Leading Edge Hi-Tech is really from 1989? I didn't know these were offered this late. It looks almost like a Weatherite, like I've been managing in the galleries recently, except these are usually from the 1970's and the upper canopy is different. Weatherite from the late 1980's and up had a pretty different motor. I guess Leading Edge offered them in this form for much longer. What is the lower canopy made of on this version? Yes, Leading Edge still offered the cast motor as a higher-end option in the late 80s before they changed everything to the current stamped steel crap. Weatherite and Leading Edge are the same bloody thing. The lower canopy is steel, as well as the blades.

Union Hugger, using the Alaska blades and irons for now. Design House Manhattan; the blade irons are a little bent up, but it doesn't wobble severely. But wait, THERE'S MORE... Brass Original, c. 2001.. one of the last American-made models. The fan is absolutely MINT.

The sheer volume alone is impressive, but the fact that each and every one is a beautiful quality piece.. Excellent!

That Hunter Original is beautiful. What type, wattage and quantity of light bulbs are required for the center globe on the light kit?

What type, wattage and quantity of light bulbs are required for the center globe on the light kit? The center glass is not illuminated, it's simply decorative.....unless, of course, you had the sudden desire to stuff a string of christmas lights inside of it.

"Terra-cotta terra-cotta TERRA-COTTA PIE" So I started volunteering at one of the local Habitats.....which basically means $0.00 specials. Moroccan sand Delta II, c. 1988. Evergo 4E-6EALW hugger, February 1984. LOUD AS HELL. SMC Emperor, probably c. 1984 judging by the ball/socket canopy. While digging around in the back room, I came across a set of solid carved mahogany Casablanca South Seas blades (with brushed nickel XTR Panama irons)....aaand this happened.

The SMC Emperor looks surprisingly good with those leaf style blades. Are the speeds a lot slower?

Performance with the South Seas blades is interesting; low speed is slightly slower, but high speed is actually faster than with the stock blades (about 200 RPM compared to 180 stock).

Ah that's a surprise for the high speed. How is medium?
