Here's another find of mine, a 1990 PB Homestead Universal. High gloss Oak blades, Genuine Homestead light kit. Of course the idiots who had this fan never included the mounting bracket when they donated it. So I had to use a different canopy and bracket. Also had to replace the reverse switch. But otherwise the fan runs great with the exception that it wobbles like hell.

Alright here's the newest finds of ours from the past 2 weekends. Last weekend we found an old American Industries fan. Missing mounting hardware and the canopy was separated from the fan. We have the canopy, but it is not shown on the fan. Good shape overall. Runs good too. Shades and lights provided by me. Everything else is original. I initially bought the fan, but I ended up trading it to Charlie for that Lady Delta. He also bought a 36" PB Original motor with brackets/screws. No blades or mounting hardware unfortunately. Was dated 1980. This weekend was my time to shine, I finally found a really nice Hunter Infiniti to add to the family. From 1994. Charlie also gave me this fan as a B-day Gift, a 38" 1st gen. Charleston. from 1982. Had to convert it to ball socket since it had no mounting hardware, also had to supply the blade to bracket screws myself. The blades on this fan are unusually thick. The badges are a bit different than the other 1st gen ones Ive seen as well. Ill get a better pic of this thing later.

Love the American Industries and the Charleston... Those Hunter Infinities are another quite common thing I see at the local Habitats, and at least 2 of these currently on my local Craigslist..

Well here's the newest find, one of the more ancient SMC Emperors. Decent shape, blades are really nice. But that isn't the fun part. Upon opening up the switch housing, I was greeted with this: Capacitor is completely toast. Anybody can tell me what the values are so I can get a replacement? The smaller one seems fine. Also need to get a new pull switch as you can see, but that's simple. Here is the can hung up though, cant test it obviously.

Personally, I think someone REALLY needs to convert one of these things to variable-speed...

I seem to recall these being 7+2.5 but I could be wrong.
