So thanks to Kijiji, I managed to scoop this up all the way from Alberta! (almost the other side of the country). Whats more, it was FREE (except for the $25 for shipping which is nothing). A 1982 Banvil Goldline 36" in brown! I've never been a big industrial person so that makes this my first one, but I thought that considering it's a cousin of the Chateau series that it'd be appropriate. Other than a couple scratches on the bottom and one of the blades being bent down (which was easily fixed), it's in amazing condition for being 30 years old!

Thanks Cole, the little bugger is wicked powerful too! It's like a midget with anger issues!

LOL I don't doubt that! It's a Gold Line, what else can we expect?

True. I would have thought that the same style motor wouldn't be this strong, but I guess considering it's industrial as opposed to the residential, they amped them up a bit. It was so powerful that I had to swap out my stepped control for a variable speed so I can have better range over it.

Love these.
The blades are supposed to be bent upwards more.

I'm glad you got it. It's nice people that accept to ship. I'm not very lucky with that. The blades are indeed supossed to be more bent upwards. They are easy to bent back. I got mine exactly three years ago in November 2009. The sticker on mine is a little bit different than the one you have. www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=124&c=47It seems that Banvil never really a name for theses but it's made pretty much like a Gold Line. I'm pretty sure it's the small version of a Red Line. |

Yeah, design-wise it is pretty much a Red Line other than the blade span and the colours.
And the blades have been properly adjusted, the lowest part being the same height as the mounting bracket. I'm sure the mid point of the tip is what should be centred with the mounting bracket but meh... it's a difference of a quarter of an inch.
