Various Updates.

[Matt B.]

I might as well put all my updates with my recent finds all in one thread.

We'll start with the Snow White 1988 Zephyr. I got the fan cleaned up and the IT working and it Works Great!

Here It is hung for a test.















Now for the 1989 Zephyr. I replaced the flywheel of of a Delta II and I got it hung. IT working great also! The blades are indeed way out of alignment. So that will be a job to try to get those aligned once more.













I'm not sure if I discussed this fan but I do have a 1986 Casablanca Four Seasons. It has the FLIK IT system. I thought the board was done fro but I was wrong! It still works perfectly. This was the first fan I got as a Full fan collector.







And finally the Alaron lighted housing fan. I got the upper lights working and I did not do a thing to it. Studying the wires, everything receives power via the black lead. The orange wire coming out of the fan is actually a Neutral for the up-light. It turns out I did not have to replace any bulb on the fan at all either.













That is all for now1

Great looking fans, I especially like the White Zephyr!

Are you planning on any of these going up permanently?

[Matt B.]

Not currently as I don't think my mom would care for the IT much. I do have a good fan setup in my house already consisting of 2 Originals, Encon, Gulf Coast, Harbor Breeze, and A Casablanca Saturn.

How was mounting the Hang-Tru on the bare joist?

It lookslike a really good set up

[Matt B.]

It was pretty decent. The distance between the thread holes for the canopy were just wide enough for the bracket to fit.

Mounting Hang-Tru to a standard bare joist like that is essentially the same as mounting on a box, but with no box or drywall. The joist is just thin enough to accept the screws on either side of the wood, and when you screw the canopy all the way up the joist stops it from going any higher, just as drywall would around a box in any ceiling. I used to mount like this all the time downstairs before I got a box installed for testing.

I need to get a shallow box for there as well. I know every time I use those same thread holes they will eventually wear out.
