which is better, the quick connect or the builder's best? I think the builders best is better because the quick connect is an SMC and uses bushing bearings. im pretty sure that the builders best would use ball bearings

Possibly, compared to a quick connect.

My point is that both of them are crap compared to what you can get for the same amount at Habitat.

New pics: The Fanco industrial; the side of the box (not pictured) says it was manufactured by Shell in Hong Kong, so it's an SMC. Not surprising since it was sent to K-mart. I put a light kit on the Old Jacksonville; maybe now it will FINALLY sell: The globe on the Peerless without the flash; now you can see the design:

I don't think the drawing on the box of the Fanco Industrial represents what the fan is exactly. Just a cheap drawing. The control appears to be the same older SMC control.
That globe with Tan design on it is really 1920s. Nice. Rejuvenation makes some reproduction of those in plain white glass.
You mean that your ceiling fans sells better when they have light kits on them?

You're not going to open the industrial? No, wait, that wouldn't make sense as you are selling it...

You mean that your ceiling fans sells better when they have light kits on them? They may or may not, but I wanted to wire this one up with a light kit so customers could see that the pullchain can control both. I've had two customers now come in thinking their fans were broken because the pullchain seemed to randomly control the light as well as the fan. I had to explain to them what the "issue" most likely was, but they both still seemed to be confused even after I worded it three different ways. Hopefully before it sells I can perform a couple of demonstrations for some customers so they can understand how many of these variable speed fans work.

Sold the Old Jacksonville today for $35. This completes the sale of all fans that were in the store at the time I started volunteering.

Oh OK that's the fan! But still the drawing is not exact. The upper canopy is not a plunger canopy its a stepped canopy with two equal parts. The lower canopy is not rounded its cylinder. The bottom of the spinner housing is not flat its a little rounded. That's stupid of peoples of thinking that about the light kits. Ceiling fans were first designed without lights kits. But I have to admit that I used to not be better than that. I used to toughed that ceiling fans in home centers stores showed with longer downroad actually CAMMED like that but then I realized how downroads can be changed easily. They just put them that way with longer downroads so they can fit better on the display.
