Habitat Pick Ups

[mndoss06]

Nothing super exciting but I picked this five blade CEC GE vent up yesterday at the Newport News Restore. I really like that one, they have a nice selection and seem take better care all things considered than the Norfolk one. The motor housing finish is in really great shape as well as the canopy and the downrod only has a few minor scratches. the blades are reversible white and white/cane however they're a little faded and scratched, I'll probably get new ones. I also need to replace the blade arms as two of them are pretty badly bent. I had to replace the pull chain switch since it broke after I brought it home. I would like to put a switch cap light kit (four light preferably) on it. If anyone has one that's 3 5/8" in either white or PB please let me know! Unfortunately the ones that I have are a little too small for this switch housing. I also picked up a set of Nutone blades. I'm assuming they're Nutone because they match the ones that I have on my Slimline. I got them to have an extra set just in case something should happen to the ones I already have. Good to have spares!

I also went to the Virginia Beach Restore, my first time there. They didn't have a whole lot. They had a black Casablanca Zephyr which was neat and a few Emperor huggers, one of which looked chrome. They had an Evergo top-mount as well. Other than that nothing too exciting but I'll have to go back later on.

The CEC is actually quite nice looking. Normally I only see them in AB covered in like kitchen grease or some similar nasty substance.

Yes, this is seriously getting old.

[Daniel G.]

Anyways VERY cool find.

[Andrew G.]

No... I speak it as it is. This fan is quite possibly one of the biggest pieces of fecal matter I've ever had.

Yes, there are much better fans like Hunter Original, but there are fans much worse, so you got to stop calling everything garbage.

This fan is probably one or two steps above "worst."

Well, it's much better than Heritage.

As they say one's trash is another's treasure.

[Rick M.]

I really like the CEC, actually. Nice grab.

Andrew, is there a point to telling us how much you despise certain fans? Doesn't do much.

Anyone sees a chrome Emperor, if it has ornate blade arms, I'm interested. If it's in okay shape, light or not, without blades is fine. But...yes.

I have a CEC like this with a built in switch cap light.

Absolutely.

Just like the people who love plastic portable fans so damn much, there are those who seem to like substandard-quality, bottom-of-the-barrel ceiling fans a little too much. In both scenarios, this is a matter of poor taste... and I shall make it known loud and clear.

Moral of the story: Stop wasting your money on crap. If people enjoy garbage fans so much, they should only retrieve such fans from...what is it? oh yes...the trash or via any other free method.
