Big Trash Haul Thanks to Dan

[Cole S.]

Dan was touring in the area, and this morning in the 1:00 hour he told me there were some fans in the trash outside the place where they were playing. So we drove over this morning and cleaned them out. Most were lacking blades, I found six with tulip brackets and two others that went to who knows what. Included are two Victorian style stack motor things with broken flywheels+a light kit from another (they have dimmers built into the lights!), two Hunter something-or-others, two SMC U-52s, two cheapo GE Vents that were mounted on the canopies of the ornate things (only reason I took them other than for internal parts), and a ton of assorted glassware.

Wow! Do any of them work? If you want to get rid of any of them, let me know. What a nice wake-up call lol!

[Cole S.]

I haven't tested anything yet. The flywheels are shot on the Riccars (that's what the ornate ones are) so they're gonna need some work. The Hunters and SMCs will be fine I'm sure if I can complete them (all missing mounting brackets), just have been letting everything dry out good because they were covered in snow. I already parted out the GE Vents. Pretty sure they were Heritage and they were too far gone to bring back. In fact they were too far gone when new lol, they were Heritage. ;D

[fancollector12]

Well as I said if you want to get rid of any let me know. (:

HEHE SNOW COVERED HERITAGES LOL

nice find on the riccer and others you kept

[Matt B.]

I have a set of S.M.C. Woodgrain stencil Blades with AB arms for one of those U52s if you are interested. PM me and we can work out a deal if you want them.

[Cole S.]

I'll see, I may have stuff lined up but I don't know what all I have on hand yet.

[Rick M.]

Well, hope you can get some of them to work! Nice finds.

[fancollector12]

I may take the other U-52 if you want to get rid of it.

[fancollector12]

That brass Hunter (Infiniti?) may be of interest to me, as well.

[Austin]

Nice save Cole! Cant beat free fans.

[Cole S.]

I'm keeping them all for the moment. Both Hunters are like Silent Breeze's or something generic like that. Where on earth did you get Infiniti?

Thanks Austin, and Rick!

It was a really cool huge club. I've been told it was remodeled almost a year ago, implying the fans were sitting outside all that time . . . but they certainly didnt look like it.

Would have loved to see it with them all installed.

The GE vent that I saw (I only picked one up and looked at it) did not look like Heritage.

I have a couple extra sets of U52 blades.

I also have a U52 for sale.

[Cole S.]

I can't imagine they sat like that for a year, they don't look it at all. I cleaned up one SMC and one Hunter last night, both look great underneath all the grime. Thought I'd have one set of SMC blades to use on the SMC that had brackets, but they don't fit. I guess they made the hole spacing smaller later on... I have one set of Hunter wing-tip from a Colonial or something to use on the one Hunter.

I can't be sure with the GE Vents, but the light kits were VERY Heritage (for sure original, they were permanently attached to the switch cap) and the actual motor kinda looked it as well. Either way the bearings were totally shot and they both had broken parts, not really worth my time for something so cheapy.
