Got this two days ago via Kijiji. It was in Laval. It originally had a 24'' downrod but the person who owned it cut the downrod for me to 6'' without even scratching it. He even made a hole to pass the pin. What an angel! When I arrived to get it everything was already done and he even clean it really well for me.
He was the person who originally purchased it so he took really good care of it.
It's all complete all the way with the original mounting bracket, decorative pulls and light kit.
The finish on the blades is just AWESOME! One of the most beautiful oak finish I ever saw along with Casa's antique oak. The finish on the blades is not a printed oak finish but wood stain.
The cane is not paper or plastic cane but natural cane.
It have a mixture of Nadair, 4 Seasons and Ding Liang parts. It's mostly like a 4 Seasons Montego but the blades are not made by Problade but Ding Liang instead. Notice 4 Seasons have never made fans that are larger than 42'' with small and skinny blades and brackets. 48'' 4 Seasons uses the same type of brackets and blades use on their 52'' models which are much wider than the 36''/42'' version. Same thing for the motor, 48'' 4 Seasons use a much wider motor than the 36''/42'' motor. The canopy and mounting bracket is just like the one found on any early 1990s Nadair. The switch housing is reassemble to a 4 Seasons switch housing but much narrower. The rest of the parts(motor, brackets and downrod) are from 4 Seasons.
It's seem Nadair used a lot of 4 Seasons parts in the mid to late 1980s. Remember the white 36'' Nadair Galaxy looking fan?
It's very understandable as they were located very close to one another. Both in Montréal area.
It's not dated but it look very 1986 to me as it's a cross between a mid 1980s fan and late 1980s fan.
I only wish it was 42'' it would have look awesome in that size with those parts.
RPM estimation: 60/130/220.
It have soundless bearing with just a little normal hum.
The reverse is a little defective, it takes an additional pull to make it go the other way but other than that it does reverse. It's just like if there was a dead pull for each side.
