one of the fans i rescued from the scrap truck just before it leaves to the scrapyard not sure what generation this fan would date but i expect it to be in mid 80s, it is also possible to be in the 90s.. this fan was manufactured by safer industries, hong kong.. if you remember this fan i got last year, that one also turned out to be from the same company since they both have exactly the same motor label and upper canopies.. the downrod was custom made and i have no idea how the motor managed not to fall.. with the threads done, the downrod's thickness is very thin this fan has a quite weak operation, with a quite loud hum.. very balanced blades and no wobble at all.. the fan delivers air from the end tip of the blades rather than the whole blade or the beginning part only     video: i guess this will be the last fan i will review since there seems to be a lack of interest in my fan threads |

Definitely 80s. Looks like "Safer" was the factory Nutone used. I've always wondered that!
Are those the original blades?

Most curved blade fans, it feels like the air comes from the tips. They are better for circulating LARGE areas, worse for small areas.
Those blades dont look original though. I dont think the fan is yellowed, they were MADE in that off white color and the blades would match. Try using the blades from the fan in the other thread.

Are those the original blades? yes, they are original ok i will try to keep posting, the thing is.. i spend effort and time in reviewing and at the end the thread dies so quickly, that's the irritating part i will see but i think the other blades won't fit in this fan.. |

Happens to all of us, Tais. I think in part it's because we have two forums for the same thing.

In Australia they have the straight bladed version of this and the version you found last year, they have some of them in Colombia and Venezuela in 120V.
It seems they offered theses with many different blade styles. Two type of curved blades and one type of straight blades.

Just look at the low activity on my sightings thread lately when I actually been posting a lot in in. at least i am not alone here, i do miss the days when i used to get lots of activity in my threads.. hope those days come back |
