Great purchase Jean! The Panama in that setup w/ bright brass and 4 blades is a modern classic

You know, I've gotta get me one of these. I hate my Harbor Breeze fan. It is so cheap compared to this fan.

My computer is a 2004 PC Compaq Presario its not a that powerful computer and these days its just overload with too many pics and too many stuff on it. I already started emptying it with a USB key but I still can't upload any video and even uploading a few pics reduces ridiculously the space on my computer! My sister is good with computers and she is gonna come over to help me with this probably this weekend or next week that she is going to come. That pic Ben that you took of a PB Panama 50'' 4-speed is VERY reassemble if not the same to what I bought. 7th pic of the last batch of pictures gives you a very good idea of what my fan looks like: ada19851985.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fans&action=display&thread=653&page=25Are you sure it's not viruses? Time to get a Mac! And this fan is POWERFUL!!!!

Beautiful fan, Jean! I love it! It looks awesome with 4-blades! 5 is okay, too, but 4 is more classic looking. ;D

Here is my first Casablanca I acquired new in the box ten years later. I decided to remake it's video in HD to celebrate it's 10th anniversary. The idea actually comes from other fan collectors that were watching the original 2009 video when they were teenagers before they were actually collecting. My 4-speed XLP-2000 Casablanca Panama II still functions beautifully, super quietly and wobble-free. Enjoy the new video!

Still a beautiful piece Jean! I remember watching the first video you recorded on this fan, it was one of the videos that convinced me to spend a fortune on one of these for myself..

Polished/bright brass has always been my favorite finish, I wanted the walnut blades originally but the showroom I bought it from had recently stopped carrying the walnut.. Having to settle for a different finish, I remembered the antique oak from yours and liked it, so I went with that..

If you look at my collection it's probably the finish I have the most. I tend to prefer wood finishes that are more in the middle like antique oak, medium oak or golden oak rather than dark tones like walnut.

Every time I watched your first XLP2000 4 Speed Panama II, it always brings me back to memory lane. So many memories there.

It reminded me of a showroom I went to when I was younger (can't remember the name though, it was in Portland, Oregon), they have bunch of Casablanca Fans there. I tried collecting Fans at that time, but I never had the chance to collect Fans until 2015.
