Thanks Jimmy.

Which finish did you order? I'm not digging those blades on that fan. Maybe try the black blades from the IT Ventura? Nice fan though! If you don't mind me asking how much was it?

Ohhh wow! You got my attention. Awesome! I really don't like the blades finish and length but still it look really cool especially with four blades. It would have look the best with a set of glossy snow white 17'' blades.
I did not remembered that they had any to sell in chrome but I noticed that one of the three Ventura ad that showed from Value Brother is gone. It had this same blade finish with the fan, also in 50'' but if I remember well the finish of the fan was something bronze. Amber bronze maybe?
I can't wait to see the video of it! Yours is not a good example because it's 50'' so it must have the same speeds as a Panama or Delta but I can't wait to see how fast they go on the slowest speed with 17'' blades. Does the pull chain starts with high? Also from what year is it?
They have been a huge delay with the black one Kelly helped me getting because he is very busy but he finally shipped it out a few days ago. I'm expecting it during the March brake week.

I ordered amber bronze, got chrome instead which was really fine by me. I paid the price that's on all the Ventura listings for Value Bros, $139
Only got these blades because they were supposed to come with the amber bronze, not that they really give you a choice anyways. I thought they looked pretty good considering they were paired with the wrong fan. They look almost black if you like black with chrome... As for white, I don't much like white with chrome but I may just set that up for you, Jean.
Might be a bit on the video, my internet connection has been seriously sucky lately and we were gonna switch providers but now my dad isn't getting on it anymore. I've tried loading 3 different times and it aborted every time. Pullchain starts with low like every other stack motor pullchain Casablanca. Date is June 6, 2002.
Good luck with yours! I was debating a black one myself but decided on amber bronze, and of course got chrome. Might try for amber bronze again at a later time.

Yes this is the only thing I don't like about theses Value Brothers deals is that they often include blade finish that does not go well with the motor. The matte black one I'm getting would have originally come with a set of matte black blades. It would have been too black. Kelly did me a little blade trade, so he keeps the black 17'' blades and he put me antique oak 17'' blades. Wow 2002 is a little older than I expected. I'm expecting my black one to be from around 2005-2006 which is around when they were discontinued in that finish. I'm surprised that the pull chain starts with low, I thought that newer XLP-2000 Casas started with high. My 2008 4-speed Panama starts with high but maybe it's an exception because it's a 4-speed model.

Ah never mind, I got the video to work somehow finally, so it's all good to go.
Yeah, that's the thing you don't get the versatility of choosing blades but it's pretty easy to swap blades around, especially among collectors like what you did.
The thing is, they aren't all specifically from when they were discontinued, they have all sorts of NOS, apparently from a span of a few time periods. Wish they would list more of that stuff. I mean, who knew they had chrome Venturas? I would've originally bought that if they had them listed.
Wonder if starting with low is a three speed thing or not. Anyone here know for sure, specifically if they are still doing that at least for the three speeders?

Looks Great Cole!!! I especially like the 4 Blade Configuration, traditionally I'm a 5 blade only Ventura guy I really wonder about that 3 Speed pull, does anyone have a "D" (3 Speed) Series Panama that the 4 Speed replaced because they would be the exact equivalent to this.

I never new they still offered chrome as a finish. I concur that the black blades would look better on this one than your other one.
Cole, we both got Venturas this year...how cool is that?

Thanks Clay, gotta hand it to you, you were the one who convinced me to go for it.
They haven't offered chrome for a number of years, and now the model is supposedly discontinued altogether so I'm glad to have this one now.
That's very cool, John. Seems like the Ventura has been a popular model in the past 12 months. I got both of mine in that time, Jean's getting his soon, you got yours and a number of other people have picked up a good few Venturas recently.
