It's funny as some Moss WF Series are very powerful and others runs slow on high. If you see one of these and it's made by TAT, it more than likely has a bad capacitor; TATs are notorious for capacitor failure.

Mended the one blade aaand it's up. The fan actually has a 20-degree blade pitch.. yes, TWENTY DEGREES. Subsequently, it runs rather slow (about 140 rpm on high).. but definitely moves air.

So I made the pilgrimage out to Fanimation.. and once again, I came back with more than I left with. Mmm, chocolate... Another Ju Feng thing; has a 3-speed click-knob. Mastercraft thing. Abando-fresh! Nutone Sea Island. Speed coil is dead (all speeds are high), so I'll be replacing it with capacitors. 36" plastic Emerson. Motor housing has a crack in it, but it was also $3. Chunky SMC U52. Fir $2.50, it was more than worth it. Aaaand another one of those neat ornate TAT spinners. Note the elongated switch housing.

The Romas use cast iron spinners, Noah, so yes. But nice finds, Andrew!

I never knew they did to begin with.

I was wondering because the other Romas I've seen don't come with that 20° blade pitch if I remember correctly. The oldest variable-speed Romas came with this steep pitch, then it was lessened when they switched to a 3-speed click-knob.. then lessened again to about 11 degrees when the more familiar later forms came to be.

I can imagine the new cap values couldn't handle a steep pitch like that...

All very nice..
I've heard those Ju-Feng things are very powerful..
