got this fan in july along with the haul from the abandoned building from a tenant who was selling her stuff.. i actually bought 6 fans from her, 2 48" khaitan hi breez (1 sold), kahitan jewel, bajaj maxima (exchanged for a khaitan magnate), an old 48" orient and khaitan comrade
the khaitan comrade was "not working" according to the seller but i neglected and bought the fan anyway.. i checked the winding and it turns out everything was fine, the only problem was that the outer winding's end wire was detached from the neutral wire.. i soldered both winding cables to the neutral cable... the fan's performance was very powerful when i tested it after the repair
the fan was seriously abused up to the point the dirts badly dissolved in the paint of the blades and the upper part of the motor was filled with dirt that was hard to remove.. the winding gasket was very brittle.. i managed to fix the winding issue without breaking the gasket
i got the blades painted and the stiff bearings free with WD40
the fan is dated may 2001
edit: just noticed that the video quality is really compressed... will reupload asap
