I had this fan at one time, for many years. It is a Panasonic, manufactured between 1983 and 1985. photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/vintageceilingfans/vwp?.dir=/-Main+Gallery-+Images+Sorted+by+Brand/panasonic&.src=gr&.dnm=unknownbrassfan1.jpg&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/vintageceilingfans/lst%3f%26.dir=/-Main%2bGallery-%2bImages%2bSorted%2bby%2bBrand/panasonic%26.src=gr%26.view=tThere are 2 more pics of it in that folder in Dan's Yahoo! group. There were several distinctive features to that fan: * The canopy * The blade brackets * The high pitch of the blades * The speeds (there were 3)--on high, the fan went at about 50 RPM. It was a VERY slow fan. But due to the blade pitch, it moved a LOT of air SILENTLY. * It is non-reversible * The way that the blades mount on the outside of the bottom of the motor, rather than around the switch housing * The fact that you see no flywheel. The entire bottom of the motor turned with the blades. VERY strange. There were no vent holes--almost all of the bottom plate turned. * The pull-chain--it has the one-of-a-kind Panasonic connector. And it makes a distinctive "click" sound when you pull it. And it is ALL cloth--even the part where it comes out of the switch housing. * J-hook mounting system--unususal, because most Panasonics use the CEC-style mounting bracket. After looking at that picture, can you tell me more about it? Model name? Model number? Other sizes/colors offered? Specs? Do you have catalog scans or more pics? And does anyone know anything more about Panasonic and its ceiling fans? Does anyone have scans/pics of a catalog? Any info? PLEASE!!! |

Pierce, linking photos from Yahoo groups does not work, since you have to be signed in to look at the photos.
And, many Laskos had a similar pull chain system.

Pierce, That's an #F5210WH 52" model year: 1984. The Polished Brass and Antique Brass are modela are #F5210 Panasonic only marketed decorative ceiling fans in the U.S. from 1984 until 1989, there's a total of 11-decorative and 3-Industrial type. Only 3-42" models and 8-52" models. They have no name models, only numeric models. The parts are ultra expensive, so if you find another one take care of it very well. Panasonic use to import oscillating fans from 1965 until 1988 in 5-styles desk, Pedestal {stand} wall, industrial ceiling fans and orbital cycle which is a type of ceiling fan that rotates on the ceiling and is controlled from a 3-speed wall regulator. In 1990 Panasonic USA decided to discontinued the imports of all their fans., The company responsable for these wnderful fans was/is Matsushita Electric's ventilation division, The Matsushita Seiko Co., MSC currently is producing oscillating fans, industrial ceiling fans and ultra-modern European ceiling fans under their 95-Year old brand KDK which means Kawakita Denki Kygyosha and National for certain countries only. Please check the current KDK fans for the Singaporean and Malaysian markets. Note that some models and colors vary on each country. Take a look and you will like them, i have 206 of them. These are the best fans in the world their performance it's excellent and the prices are even better. Singapore www.kdk.com.sg Malaysia www.kdk.com.my |

Perrey: thank you! That information is very valuable to me.
Do you have any pics?
BTW, where would one find the highly-expensive replacement parts?
The WH at the end of F5210WH...does that mean white?
So, for the record, I'll sell my parent's grave plots to own a F5210WH 52" 4-blade ceiling fan, made in 1984. I'd prefer the bright brass, but I wouldn't say no to other colors.

To think...I had 3 of those fans in that house. And I was STUPID enough (no surprise, right Dan?) not to take them. And that spic that bought the house THREW THEM OUT! I cry nearly every day when I picture my sacred old fans lying on the side of the road and being thrown into a trash compactor.  |

Unfortunately i don't, i only have the models list with parts Identification and price. I use to have a complete promotional kit with catalogs and TV commercials. These parts are also discontinued, but some part dealers may have Panasonic parts stock and you may have a chance to obtain them directly. Or you can log-on to www.panasonic.com/ and click on the top where it says "How to buy", on the next page scroll down and you'll see a link that says "Buy Parts" click on it and it will take you to the parts check up section. Note, you can only check for parts availability, the Matsushita policy is after the model [any product} is discontinued, parts and manuals will be kept for a period of 7-years. After that period elapse everything remaining will be destroy or recycle. Yes the WH means the white model. |

Perrey you have 206 of WHAT fan? That's a lot!
Pierce, I AM surprised you left those fans out of your site, I knew how much you loved them. That's why I never gave them a second thought, I assumed they were in the hands of a collector who appreciated them.
Also, to clarify, the fan that pierce is talking about is not white. It is brass, but with white blades. You've seen the picture, havent you Perrey? It's a really cool fan.

206 KDK fans. that includes models from 1966 until 2003 in
9", 12" 14" and 16" desk fans basic, some with timers,
lamps and one with a radio cassette.
12" Louver Box fans in desk and stand, with and w/o remote
control.
12" 14" and 16" Living fans with and w/o remote control
These fans look like tall desk fans., invented in 1991 by
Matsushita, they're called Living because the high is
perfect when you're seating on a sofa. not like thier stand
ones whic can reach a extention of 92" they never tip over,
thanks to the 50-LBS cast weight on the bottom of the 24" X
24" square base with casters.
16" stand fans with basic push button, or with rotary speed
control, w/ timers and lamps and front oscillation control
instead of the knowb on the back of the motor.
12", 14", 16" and 20" wall fans.
16" Orbital cycle fans.
48", 56" and 60" industrial type ceiling fans.
12 designer ceiling fans.
the oscillating {portable} models are with 3 and 4 metal
blades., 3 and 5 ABS transparent plastic blades in Blue,
Green, Stardust Gold and Gray.
Body colors are in White, Light Gray, Titan Gray, Dark
Green, Black, Charcoal, Silver, Metalic Lavander, Metalic
Blue and Red.
The early 1966 until 1976 fans have bodies and must of the
parts made of die-cast.
I got KDKs from Puerto Rico, Singapore, Hong Kong and
Malaysia. the ones from HK are rare because they're the
only ones that still get the 14" desk and wall styles.
Check the KDK links on my previous message above and see
the current models in thouse two countries.
And i'm not including the Nationals, Mitsubishis, Hitachis,
Toshibas and philips' i got last year or the ones that are
on their way.

Yes i've seen it., the "WH" after the model # is the color
of the blades only.
A bit off subject here;
Adam's website got some sort of software that changes bad
language in the messages that's why everytime i wrote
M-a-t-s-u-s-h-i-t-a Which is not a bad word it comes out
different, like a typo. For the last part of the name,
s-h-i...
Aww, not my fault at all.
