Winner Super Deluxe WF 56

[Tais]

some of you may remember in "Road trip to dhaid results" thread where i took a winner fan that wasn't working


the fan seems to be from early 80s, canopies are VERY brittle, at the attempt to take the fan down, i accidently cracked the lower canopy which was placed upwards.. lower bearings are very noisy

the fan looks exactly like TMT (and maybe con-tech), with a few differences.. it has a bigger motor, slightly thinner blades, golden ring is placed higher than the one on TMT and the motor is almost 1 kilo lighter than TMT

the fan is much more powerful and slightly faster than TMT, air delivery is almost the same but the buffeting sound is slightly different

lower canopy is actually a noodle cup as a replacement of the original with the original canopy sticker

this fan has 3 blade screws missing at the time i obtained it, which made it difficult to keep the blades in place while operating the fan

here are some pics of the fan















and now compare it with TMT:

and here is a video (it seems i will retake the video with my samsung galaxy S 2, my video camera is giving me a hard time)

Very creative with the lower canopy, actually doesn't look half bad at all.

I prefer the TMT version. I wish you to find a blue version one day. Particularly a 48'' would be awesome!

The blades seems droopy on the Winner.

I agree with Cole for the lower canopy. It works very well. You were lucky to find a noodle cup that fitted so well.

Poor thing it's so noisy. You say it was not working at first? What did you do to it?

i took it to the workshop to check the fan and fix it if possible, turned out that the fan had an open circuit in one of the input wires not allowing the fan to work

I like it...seems pretty powerful despite the noisy bearings.
