So it's finally mine! I've been waiting for this fan to be taken out since they started just talking about our new building project more than three years ago. Went to church this morning and found it waiting on the floor for me. Here it is as it was always installed, with one blade having the badge on the wrong side. That's been bothering me for longer than I can remember lol!  And one blade has this damage, it's been that way for a few years as well I think, probably got whacked with a broomstick or something while cleaning the floor.  After a thorough degreasing (30+ years accumulated kitchen grease), this is the result. Yeah, kinda looks the same, but it's definitely cleaner! The motor itself is probably the best used-condition Evergo I own as far as cosmetics go, I love the matte brown and there's only one major scratch in it. The blades though, are a greasy, sticky mess that I can't get cleaned. Gonna try some Goof Off, but the damage is not so good either, so I'm considering having a new set made anyways since the motor is in such GREAT shape.   |

That's a nice fan! Hopefully you can get more of your church's fans (:
Did they replace this with anything?

Thanks guys.
Not any more interesting ceiling fans to get, I've gotten some of the Airmasters and this thing, all the new fans are staying. There's some cool portables I'd like to swap out though, I've been collecting cheap new Lakewood box fans to hopefully swap with the old fans once I talk to somebody about it.
There is no replacement yet, and I don't know if there will be. The AC didn't reach the kitchen well (thus the fan installs in the 70s/80s), but I think they plan to fix that in the remodel, so there very well might be no replacement fan. Guess we'll find out, the kitchen itself is supposed to be done in September apparently.

I've meant to, to put in the thread dedicated to this topic. I never think about when I leave the house though. I'll try to remember now, it's been too long.

Nah it's not a problem, considering this thread is relevant to that.
All of said fans replaced British Airmasters (and one Indian version), which is where I got all of mine from back when they started the first phase of improvements.

Glad you were able to save that Leslie Locke! Looks like you did a nice job cleaning up the motor.  |

LOVE this fan. I have one, hopefully I'll have a set one day. I would try WD40 on the blades.

I have one, hopefully I'll have a set one day. I would try WD40 on the blades. You have this version? I love the AB version, I love the brown version with this matte finish even more. Don't see many of the brown version, this is the only one I've noted in person. WD40 I have, I can give it a shot, not much to lose really. |
