some of you may remember the messed up ABC and the rusty UEC that i obtained last year
the 2 fans before i took
ABC
UEC
the ABC had no canopies when i obtained it, 1 of the blade bolts had it's head chopped off, motor, blades and downrod were badly coated with paint causing the fan to look shabby.. this is believed to be the earliest of the union industrials.. it has a HUGE capacitor comparing to my other 56" unions ad a metallic tag instead of a sticker
first, i got a noodle cup that looked perfect as a fan canopy, removed the printings that was on it, designed an ABC logo in adobe flash while having the 36" ABC fan's canopy as a sample.. it took me some time to select the right one (actually this was the last thing i did)
i got both fans repainted to almost the same color as the original color
ABC:
the UEC had it's bottom of the motor very rusted with several parts severely eaten, the blades looked shabby and the internal wires were worn off, i got the internal wires replaced and the blade to be used as the sample color.. the UEC is the newest of my unions but not the latest of union fans as i've seen some newer versions of ABCs that had a way smaller capacitor than the UEC..
UEC:
all 3 unions
i had quite a hard time setting them up since there are many cartons placed on the ground under the fans..
the ABC is the most quiet one of them, the UEC produces some strange sounds at startup (due to the wirebox that fell off the ceiling) and some strange continuous "ticking" sound at full speed when operated for a long time
