3rd Gen. Fasco Charleston

[Matt B.]

Got this in form Windturbine1983 (J.J.) today, a PB Fasco Charleston 3rd Generation form September, 1993. This is one of the 12 Charlestons removed from a Golden Corral when they redecorated and they replaced these fans with builder fan crap that doesn't match the room they are in at all. He got 2 of the 12 and I traded my Halsey Emperor for one of them. The other 10 were going to be relocated, but he has not seen them in the new location yet.

But here is my fan. It is all complete and as you can see it has the bleached oak blades.



I tried to get my mom to let me replace my kitchen fan which is a Gulf Coast Sea Breeze with this fan, but she wont budge.

Here is the Gulf Coast in my kitchen currently.



Here is the Halsey Emperor I traded:



And finally these pics were taken by J.J.,

Here is what my fan looked like originally installed:



Here is one of the replacement fans

Those replacement fans don't match at all, and they're ugly. I like the Fasco. I doubt they're going to be "relocated", it's just a pathetic excuse for the Fascos to be disposed of.

Tell me about it! I do too think they were thrown out. or moved to a location J.J. doesn't know about.

Looks great! Shame your Mom wont let you put that one up. Those replacements look like they REALLY SUCK, any idea what brand they are?

I hope the other 10 are put somewhere but I doubt it. It just sounds fishy that they'd be moved in that quantity like you'd think people would consider that a liability problem or something but at least J.J. saved the two.

[fancollector12]

The replacements are Litexes.

Here is the fan hung and a video of it running.

I love the FASCO, and the blades on it even more! That replacement looks utterly stupid.

Glad J.J. was able to save two of them at least. Looks really neat with the light colored blades.
