UPdate: Well I found A brand new Ventura fan on Ebay for only 139.99 including shipping. It came with blades(Smaller ones) Intellitouch wall control and even a light kit. The only draw back was the color; Rustic Iron. However, At this point I just wanted those White Avalon blades to sale again! So I ordered it.
Everything was brand new but didnt exactly match the white rod and sails on the Avalon Blades; however the brushed chrome anchors on the blades looked pretty nice. At first I was going to strip down the outer casing and put on what I had from my old white Ventura; but soon realized the light kit part was missing its bottom piece. Then I decided maybe I could take off the the top and replace the mid band with the white one from the old Ventura and put the white on top. However, it gave it a white top/rustic iron bottom and didnt look right. Finally I decided to just replace the mid band with the white one.
I have to admit it does look a bit funky, but in some strange way it kinda works. Or maybe I'm just being overly optimistic. My Teenage daughter saifd it looked like and Oreo! The problem is it's 14 feet up in a great room and not easily accessable; so I'll have to live with it for now. I think I'll take some pics and see what you guys think. At least I know it's one of a kind!
On the Intelli Touch controller, Casablanca technical never said one thing to me, and I sent the old one back twice. What happens when you use the IT controller with the Avalon blades? Casablanca still recommends the Ventura and the Panama motor as the only that can handle the Avalon Blades, why wouldnt they warn you about the IT if it comes in alot of the boxes with the Ventura? Strange.
Well, not much I can do now.
