Norfolk VA Restore

[mndoss06]

I went to my local Restore today and happened to have my camera on me so I took a few pics. They're not the greatest but they give you an idea of how they've got stuff laid out there. I don't like the fact that they just pile the fans on top of each other, there are many with warped brackets and blades. They have some neat stuff from time to time, the past few times I was there they had a few Hunter Studio series but today I didn't see any. The PB/White GEV in the last picture was a Fasco. It was neat but I didn't pick it or anything else up today. Enjoy!

Here's what you should buy for yourself:

-The ornate thing (Homestead) in the first pic
-The fan in the third pic (Homestead Whisperfan)

. that ornate one (like if it's a homestead),the blades MOST LIKELY has stencil like the one i got

I see a few cool Homesteads there for sure, think there's a 38" Universal in there too. Not to mention an assortment of other half cool fans. That storage system is definitely a no-no though, and it seems everything is all mixed up among the chaos of the piled fans.

There was a six blade Homestead in there too, you can see part of it in the fourth pic down. At the very least what they should do is prior to putting the fans up for sale is remove the blades/brackets from the motors.

Hey, I would be interested in the HB Princeton motor since I have blades that would work on it.

[Rick M.]

Definitely some neat fans there...that's too bad that they just pile them up like that - the blades & brackets are getting bent pretty bad like you said...

PLEASE buy the Homesteads!

Theres some nice fans under the rubble. I see a casa. The newport News habitat does this too. I now go to the williamsburg, VA one. It just opened. I got my surpreme mark III there.

If anyone sees anything in there that they might be interested in let me know, I'd be willing to pick it up for you. All I would ask for is reimbursement for the cost of the fan plus whatever shipping might be. John, if you want the Princeton motor let me know. Dan, if you or anyone else wants any of those Homesteads let me know, I'll see what I can do. I don't want to buy any of them for myself because I don't have the space for them and quite frankly while I love vintage fans I don't really consider myself a collector of them (except for maybe top mounts since in most cases I can't resist those). I really only stop by the Restore on weekends and it's usually every other weekend. Just send me a PM or email if anyone's interested.

Grab the ornate one for sure!
