This is my Polished brass Casablanca Zephyr Serial BR16661 Model 1222 which was the 661st fan made on February 16th, 1983. This is my 2nd Casablanca I have gotten as a fan collector. It was originally Slumber Quiet which worked perfectly when I first got it, but it fizzled out on me. Now it has a 3 speed system from a Delta II, so this fan is practically a Delta.  I am using the original mounting hardware on my Delta II currently so I am using some different parts to hang the fan. It needs some attention of the bearings but otherwise it works great. One thing that is really neat on this fan is that there is "Casablanca" on the tip of each blade on one side only. If I had a better camera, I would take a picture for you guys. I suppose that many people have Casa blades that have that, but that's the only set that I have that has that.   |

People really need to start repairing their existing SQ boards, the concept of the 3 speed conversion is annoying as all hell. It isn't THAT hard to replace individual components on a circuit board.

I had plans to repair it, I even got another POT for it. If I can find that blasted Heat sink Again I would try to repair it.

Awesome I love it! Polished brass early 1980s Zephyrs are my all time favorite ceiling fan. I love the finishes of the blades on yours. Actually theses blades with the Casablanca printed on the tip are rare. I know Kelly have an early ivory & PB Panama with them. I also have one with stencil blades, mine is from 1980. The variable speed control was also replaced on my by a 3-speed converter kit. A few other parts were replaced on it. You have probably seen it before: www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=112&c=35Is the tassel original to yours? |

Humm no, there is nothing annoying at all in that. My Zephyr was also converted into 3-speed, it works perfectly and I love it this way. At least I know it cannot fail at any moment. Slumber Quiet parts are not made anymore and even if they are repaired they have too many chances to fail again.  |

Sure, the 3 speed system is more reliable, but some people want the real friggin' thing! So.. if you are REALLY after originality like I am, you will replace most of every component if necessary to ensure that the same failures do not occur again. |

Looks great from here! Those blades with the "Casablanca" logo on the tips are really cool.  |

I've done a number of SQ repairs. They always end up frying again.

I've done a number of SQ repairs. They always end up frying again. Replace multiple components at once... problem solved! |

No, it didnt work. It still failed. SQ is extremely fickle.
