I have seen clockwise and counterclockwise, but a lot more counterclockwise. The inner mechanism is different as well.
I dont recall having EVER seen the CW ones in a catalog or "in the wild".

The only one I've ever seen in person was clockwise.

For those who are curious, here's the inner workings of the Verandah: And here's the newest find: 42" Fasco Charleston from 1989.

Very interesting... Defiantly some neat finds there.. Looks like someone replaced the original blades with some modern Hampton Bay/SMC made particle board blades, yuk.. Hopefully you will come across some NuTone blades for that.. I could see a set of cane blades going with that very well, if there was a set in wood colored made with cane.. If not a plain wood set would look great as well..

I do have an extra set of 52" stencil blades that I put on this fan. I have a picture with that set on it on the previous page if you haven't seen it yet. Definitely better than the fugly HB blades which are in the landfill now as we speak. It is a shame the blades are replacements, if the owners of the fan did that or habitat is anyone's guess. According to the model number this is supposed to be a 36" fan, but spins the same rpm with a 52" blade set. It would be nice to see what the original blades would have looked like. probably a set of 36" brown faux cane plastic blades.

Loving that 42" Charleston! Those don't seem to be as common in AB, I think I like them best in that finish.

But anyways, it looks great with those stencil blades.. Looks like they would be original to that particular fan..

I'd love a to find 42" Charleston one day.
That's the shittier version of the Nutone Friction drive . . . the rubber bushing wears out easily and I havent found a replacement. In later versions, they used a metal bushing and a rubber wheel.

Walked out of one of my Habitats with this thing yesterday. Brown/Ab Leslie-Locke spinner. Only thing missing is the wall control sadly. May be still there, but I didn't have time to look. Bearings are shot. Tried oiling them, but didn't help the noise. It was either this or an incomplete brass delta II, which I'll nab next time for parts more than likely since they are a dime a dozen.

Mmm, I do love these mutant blades.

Great find.. Usually the control doesn't end up with the fan at these places.. Most people don't realize the controls are apart of the fan, so they end up getting left mounted to the wall..

Just posted a video with a white one of these! I also have a brown one, it was my first wood blade "industrial".
Never seen one with the three screws exposed before.

Never seen one with the three screws exposed before. That was my doing when I took the motor apart to oil the bottom bearing.
