few months ago i went to a semi abandoned farm, not knowing that there was a part of the farm not abandoned.. i found 5 ABC fans that were from the 80s, thrown on the side of the farm along with all the furniture.. since i discovered the farm was inhabited i decided to leave the fans there.. 2 were completely locked, 1 was almost locked and 2 were stiff.. however my phone's battery was low and it didn't allow me to take photos at that time
few days ago i went to see the fans, 3 were gone, 2 were remaining.. 1 that was locked, and the other one was stiff.. luckily a farmer spotted me wandering around the area, i asked him if it were possible to take the fans that were lying down there.. at first he told me it's not ok, i left, walking all the way back to my car (roughly 500 meters away) just before i reached the car, the man called me and told me it's possible to take them.. but i have to buy them.. at first he told me AED 150.. i rejected, he asked how much do u want? i said AED 60 for both "that's too little blah blah blah......" then he said 90 AED.. i gave him a hundred and got the fans.... the price is not the important thing, the VALUE of getting 2 unions is the important thing
unlike all the other union industrials i have, they don't have a ring at the bottom of the motor.. their capacitor is as big as my TMT and winner's capacitor, much smaller than the one in my UEC (newest of the 3 obtained earlier)
one works normally, the other one (locked one) had it's winding damaged and very brittle, the winding was breaking up very easily and it is useless to solder 2 cut wires
here are some pics..
the stiff ABC
the locked ABC
rust of union goodness
none of the 5 unions had the upper canopy, but notice that the initial support of the upper canopy looks different than the ones i have.. i was also surprized that the lower canopy wasn't yellowed..
with these 2 ABCs, i have 6 union fans... these 2 could probably be the last of the union fans
