I've never had to expose the screws to open one of these?

The screws on this motor threads all the way to the bottom of the motor. Where you see the white spots are the ends of the screws. When I took the screws out to open the motor, the paint chipped away exposing those holes.

I suppose for a brief period of time Evergo used longer screws to hold the motor together. Which the holes for these screws had to be tapped all the way to the bottom of the motor casing.

Never seen one with the three screws exposed before. That was my doing when I took the motor apart to oil the bottom bearing. Why didn't you just put new bearings on it while you had the casing apart? I'll oil bearings but only if i don't have to split the casing to do it, in that case i replace them if they are bad or repack them if they still turn smooth but sound a bit dry in the case of motors that pull apart easy, if the motor is hard to open I always use new bearings to save the trouble of having to take it apart twice.

I don't have any good extra bearings to replace the old ones with.

Fastenal is a great source for bearings.

Charlie E. and I found a couple Delta IIs today, I don't know when his was from but mine is from 1987. I don't have a picture of his, I had to leave rather abruptly but it is the all too common brass 4 blade model with a Casablanca light with actual glass as well. The only thing missing was the 4 screws for the Hang-tru. His was in nice shape, as for mine on the other hand, parts fan:

It looks good to me, what's wrong with it?

The fan was used in a kitchen, top-plate and top of blades are coated in grease. Ruined the finish. The bottom plate and sideband are still nice. The flywheel is bent, that I mean the actual metal ring, so it may not look too bad on the picture but the blades droop badly on this fan.

Thought the blades looked a little saggy, only thing I really noticed. I don't really cry over people raiding Delta IIs for parts though unless they're like-new fans. They're so common and usually the parts from them can do a lot more good than just having another marginal-condition Delta II.

They're so common and usually the parts from them can do a lot more good than just having another marginal-condition Delta II. Exactly. The first time i saw the fan, The first thing that crossed my mind was that It will be worth the money in parts. I plan to use the good bottom plate and sideband on this fan and put them on my already complete 1986 Delta II which has house paint on the top plate and sideband. The K4S light can be used an anything since it cleaned up decently, and I can use the 3 speed electronics to have as a backup or be generous and give to Charlie to make his Slumber Quiet Four Seasons functional again. If i scrubbed the crap out of the blades they could be decent too.

Very nice.. It's in great shape too.. Those use an Allen key bolt for the canopy.. I've got the same color combination, except I think the canopy is white.. Looking at yours, seeing how I've never been inside one, other than the one I got last week... The one in mine, the capacitor has been replaced with a box capacitor.. Are you able to take reference photos of the wires seeing how you have yours open? And the capacitor specs? It will save me the trouble of having to open a second one.. It was a complete pain in the ass seeing how the side band doesn't connect to it's self.. I wasn't sure if the pull tassel was original with the fan but I guess they are..
