AMC (Union Ngok Kee)

[Tais]

one of the fans i took from dhaid.. # 38 in my collection

i mounted the fan today and operated it.. it has a very smooth and quiet performance as compared to almost all my vintage fans, indeed it's very powerful with an awesome air delivery!!

this fan hums more than my 2 other union fans (UEC and ABC) but the bearings are a bit stiffer yet less noisy.. though the fan is very quiet in it's performance, it's slight bearing noise can be heard

this fan is manufactured in the late 70s at the earliest time of the use of sticker label instead of metallic label, capacitor size is slightly smaller than the one in my 56" ABC but same value..


here are some pics







i just love the way how it performs, can't wait to make a video and the 3rd episode of Date store fans series!!

Awesome fan! You got this one quit a while ago. I can wait to see it in action.

The Canarm II are very similar but they have visible screws around the edge of the bottom of the motor. It's probably a newer version than this one. Also I don't think they have the circle in the middle of the motor.

So what's happening with the UEC and the ABC 56''? Are you still doing fixings on theses? I remember the bottom of the motor of the UEC was very rusted out so you will probably be repainting this one.

i got some copies of the downrods for the ABC and UEC so that they can fit in the store, the downrods fit in the UEC but the paint of the motor got damaged during the processes in the work shop, however, the downrod is a bit too tight for the ABC fan, i will manage the threading some time soon

i will mount both fans as i repaint the UEC, do a little threading work on the ABC and when there is nothing blocking my way to the fan... right now there are many cartons in the room causing difficulty in replacing the fans, especially the one in the middle

besides all this, the ABC fan may seem to have some electricity leakage inside the motor as there is some shock when i touch the fan while in operation

Very neat Union!
