So I finally gave up and went to that Casablanca fan repair shop we have in Lasalle. They inspected and test it and said it was the IT board that was burned out but the control is fine. I almost did not bough the IT board as its always more expansive just because its in Canada but my parents were so nice and paid for me. I talked to the guy about converting it to 3-speed but he said its not possible and I convincing him and he said do it if you can but I don't know how to. I guess he said that because its against Casablanca profit....and his business. I'm sure he heard about that though as he works there for quiet a few years now. He is the one who changed the motor of the Saturn back in 2001 of the person who sold me the Four Seasons.
The worst thing that can happened to you with a defective IT Casablanca is when both the control and IT board are defective and the not too bad situation is when its just the control but me it was the IT board. So its in the middle. So they replaced it but at least I kept the old school W-11 control.
Now it works just FINE!!!! 6 different speeds, so NICE and the aesthetic low is so NICEEEEEE!!!! ;D Like 30RPMs and that's a 48'' I suppose on a 50-54'' Casablanca IT its even slower.
In that fan repair shop was lying on the floor a snow white Mercury(or Meridien) with a XLP-2000 motor in it which I guess was waiting till the owner pick it up after they replaced the motor. In the back room was a glossy black/PB Saturn and some other dissembled fans I did not recognized. On the floor was a box of a Kichler fan. On their wall they had the framed Casablanca logo that shows some kind of 20th Century with stencil blades and 4 lights. I asked the guy how come Casablanca are so RARE around here but he said that at some point there was of boom of Casablanca in Montréal that quiet a lot of peoples bought them but he did not told me when was that boom but from the few Casablanca I saw so far I guess that boom was in the late 80s early 90s. After he told me it went down but he said that a place called Union still sells some in Montréal but they are almost the double of what I paid for my Panama at the Wlicorp showroom in Toronto according to their site. He also told me that some Multi Luminaire still sells some. My god my local Multi Luminaire only sells Canarms, Kendal and Monte Carlo. So far I seen two Saturns, one Mercury and my Four Seasons which are all models of the 1987-1993 area. So if I had to find other used Casablanca in my area they should be from those dates. Like right now there a AB Four Seasons II 52'' that pooped on Kijiji Montréal.
Its pretty cool they were almost all Made in USA at that time but they were too many IT models and too many models that turn to IT only. The Delta II, Lady Delta, Cascade and possibly the Mercury are the very few pull chains Casablanca of that time. Classic models like the Four Seasons and Zephyr were only IT by the late 80s.
