Today I went back to Habitat and got more fans. Videos are to come soon. First is a Casablanca Delta II from May 22, 1986. It was the 346th fan made that day. It's missing the Hang-Tru mounting bracket, and it needs new bearings. Next is an unknown GEV from January, 1987. Model number 04-579(BC5-52). It's the same unknown brand as the builder fan I parted out, and thefandude21's unknown GEV fans, which he parted out as well. One of the blades was damaged, which forced me to use a different blade from another set I had.

I particularly like that GE-vent fan. Not sure why - it's just cool.

Nice Finds! Really like the Delta II.
Are those Hunter grommits in the white broken blade with cane?

Right now, I'm repairing the blade: I know I should be using would putty, but the container I had dried out, so this is all I could do for now until I get some more:

Most of the Sears fans used the grommet system, since all the non Emerson/Lasko ones that I've had used that system.

Love the Delta II by the way. Wondering if it has an Astrosyn motor as opposed to an Emerson? My AB one is also a May of 1986 and has the Astrosyn. That would explain the bad bearings, the ones that came in the Astrosyns were absolute crap and are almost always noisy and/or locked up.

Thefandude21's Bahama hugger has the same label design on it, and Bahamas are made by CEI. I saw a very similar NIB one by Sears on Craigslist at one point... Love the Delta II by the way. Wondering if it has an Astrosyn motor as opposed to an Emerson? My AB one is also a May of 1986 and has the Astrosyn. That would explain the bad bearings, the ones that came in the Astrosyns were absolute crap and are almost always noisy and/or locked up. Thanks! Mine has the Astrosyn motor.

Thanks! Mine has the Astrosyn motor. Yup, there's the root of the bearing issue. Luckily replacement is super easy! ;D
