Love that LD, and the Saturn motor was a very good find as well.

I just got back from vacation down in southern Alabama and I have couple of new finds from some of the Habitat runs. First find is a 38" Fasco 2nd Gen. Charleston. The fan is actually re-labeled under the X-Tended Life Fan Company. The second find is a 52" Fasco 1st gen Charleston. I also bought a set of blades which are the same as one ones used of the 1st gen Charleston. I exchanged the brackets on the fan since the ones on the spare set are in better alignment than the original ones.

Mmm.. I do like the R&M. It looks like most of the red would come off easily enough.

Oh yeah, that red paint comes right off when you rub your fingernails on it.

Saw this fan last weekend at one of my Habitats and at first I passed on it. But I know I would kick myself for letting it slip through my hands especially since it a huge childhood fan of mine. I've always liked these fans and have a serious soft spot for them. This is what sparked my fan collecting when I set out to find one of these. It's nothing too special to most of you guys, its a 1989 S.M.C. Royal Flush 42 or U42. Runs great with the exception of an all too common bearing noise which isn't that bad after I shot some oil in the bearings.

Very nice...this is a childhood fan of mine too! My late grandmother had one of these installed at my grandparents' previous house; this is the best pic I have: I think it's the exact same fan as the one you got, except the one in my pic had white blade brackets instead of brass, and a mushroom globe instead of a round one.

Nice rare version of the Royal Flush with hard brackets and sideways reversing switch. 1989 is the very first year they starting to have a made in China black motor rather than being made in Hong Kong.

Thanks fellas, I believe the all white models are the most hardest to find of them all. I think 1988 is when they introduced the design of the fan above. The earlier versions with the larger brown motor and the larger vents on the motor housing were pre-1988.
