Older Nutone Hug-The-Ceiling

[Cole S.]

Went back to get this thing at Habitat after last week's Victorian find because you don't see too many of these with the slightly older switch housing and decent motor. Not very powerful or fast, but it's one of the few huggers I would ever pick up at this point because it's remotely cool looking.



Also got some brand new walnut/cane Menards blades that have been sitting there for some time. Seem to be decent quality for replacements. They are pretty old now, so they should be lol.

Any hugger with a cast iron spinner motor should be picked up, regardless of how it looks. Just look at that 'Golden Huggy' thing I got.. plainest-looking thing ever, but with the cast iron Ritz/Moss motor, it FLIES.

Something with a cast iron motor would be included in the few huggers I would pick up, that wasn't to imply that appearance is the only thing I look at when it comes to huggers.

Sweet find! I'm guessing it's 4B only? I'd love to see a pic of the motor and the labels, if you wouldn't mind.

[Cole S.]

Yeah. Nutone did not do 4/5 blade on this era of spinner motor, or on any spinner motor at all as far as I know.

Here's what you asked for, typical Nutone motor for stationary housing fans and the only label that means anything for this purpose:

Thanks! That's one helluva motor, and I like the mounting bracket. You should do another video of your old family room hugger!

That's a really neat-looking hugger. Glad you were able to pick it up.
