I hookup it up directly and it works, the motor is a bit buzzy even without a variable speed control.. I think you're right about it not having a capacitor, unless there's one in the motor housing.. Nope, definitely a noisy shaded-pole (capacitor-less) box fan motor.

Hum, that switch may work, but the switch it's self may be an issue to fit.. I'd rather have no light kit.. I like most of my fans without light kits.. There's been times I passed up on fans due to the fact it had a light kit, or was missing the switch housing cap.. i wouldn't put a light kit on it if i were you,they will rattle the globe off the fitter and..... as for my video rick m posted,yes it has light kit cuz i rarely use the fan and the other fd i have is what i use lot more often and it has no light on it,just a cap

If you can offer me the knob off of your fan, that would be very nice of you to do that.. Cheaply made is right, and like you, I also have memories of my childhood with these fans, it was the very first fan we ever owned as far back as I can remember..

hey adam,i sent you pics and video(video will be posted later) of the switch...etc and i just let the pics do the rest of the talking as you see the 2 wires not connected>>goes to the light kit i will include the brown knob/string with it any further questions,pm me and as for some parts,dan neuman has some parts laying around on his end(as he told me before)and i think he has the brown switch cap since i don't have one,i only got white ones left over in my hands. i got 1 question,do you wire those 2 black wires together to make the fan work since the switch is no longer there?

if you want a switch cap i would include one of my white ones but it would look funny with white cap on brown fan unless you don't care for color combo......etc,it's up to you

The two wires are black, and connected together for direct hookup.. I could paint the switch housing cap to match the fan's original paint.

Friction Drives were actually the "Casablanca" series by Emerson. And I do still have that box, would never think of getting rid of it because it's gotta be rare.
