The Veranda is actually a 52" motor with 36" blades. I've seen this a few times before, I'm not quite sure why they did that. Nope. I don't know about the stack motor itself, but the 36" verandahs (and sea islands) have motor housings that are slightly smaller than the 52". You had a picture of a 52" and 36" side by side to prove it, but I can't find it. Anndew, THIS Veranda is a 52" motor with 36" blades. The ones I posted pictures of are a 36" motor with 36" blades. Sea Islands only have ONE size motor housing. I own all of these.

Andrew, THIS Veranda is a 52" motor with 36" blades. The ones I posted pictures of are a 36" motor with 36" blades. Sea Islands only have ONE size motor housing. I own all of these. Maybe his is older, and the actual 36" housings came soon after? His being labeled a 36" leads me to believe this. Maybe they just used the wrong housing, or random parts like some of the Emersons, etc. Based on Dan's photos, it seems that the smaller housings have square bottom vents, while the larger ones have round bottom vents. That's at least one way to tell them apart.

I've had some 36" ones with the bell canopy, which was only sold for a few years. The majority have the ball socket system.
If they deliberately sold 52" motors with 36" blades, it was VERY briefly.

I did test the fan out with 52" blades and it goes far too slow to consider it to be a 52" motor.

That's odd, because the 36" ones I have use the exact same motor and capacitor as the 52". They should be the same speed.

I wonder if the cap in my fan is different then? It seems to spin at a normal speed on high and the variable speed seems to function properly, so I don't think it is bad. I wish I could use the 52" blades on that fan since the set I have are real wood: The 36" blades are plywood. Here is the Miami Carey all cleaned up.

Didn't Nutone sell motors and blades separately? That could explain why you've found 36" blades with a 52" motor...

The housing is more than likely off a 52" fan though. You should open up the housing and get a picture of it, also get the capacitor value. They had to have sold them separately. My hacienda came used-in-box when I bought it... the box was for the motor and blade irons only.

The housing is more than likely off a 52" fan though. Doesn't the Verandah have a stack motor? If so it should be able to handle bigger blades (hence, the Emerson 2148, which used a 2042 motor). You could probably swap the capacitor out for a bigger one as long as you don't put one in too big as it could cause the motor to overheat. Dan will probably disagree with me vehemently on this, though.

You can install the capacitor value of a 52" fan. Anything bigger will damage the motor.
The motors and blades were sold separately.

That is a GE motor. Replace the cap with a 5uf.
Looks like there were some variations on very early Verandas.
I wonder if any of mine have GE motors, I havent opened them all.
