I found this at Habitat (for chountz, 410/Marbach) some time ago and put it up in my GFs room...it's a super early Victorian with a K63 motor and a metal flywheel...Variable speed and all that works perfectly and yes, it does have that K63 hum to it. The sockets also have the snap switches

You can eliminate the hum with a rubber flywheel or otherwise vibration isolators.

You're crazy...I hate rubber flywheels on anything...guaranteed to break eventually....yes, they're easy to replace...but then again, look at the World's Fair...literally EVERY WF made will become trash when that flywheel breaks...no replacement=no bueno Anywayz lol, my GF likes the hum, adds character |

Then just add sheets of rubber between the blade brackets and flywheel.

I wish all companies that make ceiling fans with rubber flywheels would go back to metal ones that way they wouldn't break.

Why not rubber coated metal.

Why not rubber coated metal. Isn't that what most of more recent flywheel consist of? Already by the late or even mid 1980s, an improvement in sturdiness of flywheel could be noticed. On Casablancas at least. The flywheel on my 1987 Four Seasons and 2008 Panama have nothing to do with the one on my 1980 Zephyr. The flywheels from my 1987 and 2008 Casablancas are pretty sturdy while the 1980 one is like jello. |

Some are rubber and plastic. Others are rubber and metal. In both cases the "fins" in the middle are exclusively rubber. They are what usually break.

Some were also entirely plastic, including the spokes.
