Just a quick update on this little fan. When I had this hung in my room after I replaced the bearings, it seemed to run a little stiff. I thought adding washers in between the rotor and housing would free it up like my 42" Princess but I was wrong. After I was done re-assembling the fan and hanging it to test, it ran like crap. So I removed the washers and it runs better, just some vibration is heard while the fan is in operation. I made sure not to tighten the screws too tight which was the cause of the stiff bearings so now it coasts longer and runs a bit faster. It also moves a good load of air as well.
(I'm back to using the Sanyo once again since my good camera is broken and I need to buy a new one)
Unfortunately this job didn't go without accidents. The motor fell off a table while I was tightening the downrod adaptor and it screwed the housing up a bit. But nothing too serious.
