So I decided to check out a new Habitat that opened recently aaaand then this happened... Casablanca 20th Century Limited, dated February 1982. But wait.. what's this? Despite being manufactured in 1982 and having a Hang-Tru canopy, it also has a K63... This fan was assembled out of leftover parts.. very odd.

Nice fan! Odd for how "new" it is it has a K63 motor in it, and NOT a K55 motor.

First trash find in what seems like eons. Riccar/Sierra Victorian knockoff; found the motor at Habitat sans blades, so I slapped another set on for now. Black & cherry.. mmm. To me, the 42" Original was Hunter's practical joke, as it performed horribly, largely due to a shallow blade pitch. I found this one, a spinner version from 2006 (and evidently, a showroom floor model), sans blades at Habitat; I knocked the price down to $5, which is pretty much all I'd want to pay for a 42" Original. Surprisingly, this spinner version actually FLIES with the Low profile blades I slapped onto it. Casablanca Brescia, c. 2001; vintage pewter, short weathered pine blades, matching K4M light.. mmmmm. It does have all 5 blades.

Black and cherry is a combination that has withstood the test of time. I think the only fans with more extreme pointed tips than cherry bladed NuTones are antiques. Can't wait to see a video.

Love that Hacienda. Favorite ceiling fan of all time. Looks to be an early model with the pointed blades?
This reminds me, while cleaning out a late relative's belongings (who had a mint condition Hacienda which is now with me), I found the instruction manual for installing the Hacienda as well as a 12/87 NuTone catalog.

I am quite fond of that Riccar Andrew. If you thought 42" Originals were Hunter's practical joke, have a look at the Oakhurst! Out of curiosity, how "silvery" is the finish on that Casablanca Brescia?

Yesterday's Habitat Specials... Left: Casablanca Four Seasons III motor; acquired mainly for the Hang-Tru. Right: Casablanca Mercury, August 1991; NEW flywheel, obnoxious 48" downrod, Samsung motor. Sadly, the capacitor is bad (and since it's one of those queer loose black-box sorts, it'll be difficult to source.. and thus, repair without swapping the motor for an Emerson K55 and normal 3-speed board).
