some unusual scrap finds this time! all fans except 1 were bladeless Winner: some of you remember that TMT knockoff i have labelled Winner, this time i found a very unusual super heavy brown 4-bladed winner fan motor with a metallic canopy and a brass nut at the bottom! i just wish this fan had blades, however.. but oh well, time to find spare sets.. 2 gold wheel fans that are different in ages, they look exactly the same! the only difference between them is the power consumption, 1 is 85w and the other one is 100w.. one is definitely 80s, the other one could be early 80s or late 70s MEC ceiling fan 2 brown khaitan magnate fans, both dated 1991, one in march and the other one in april.. those 2 fans really did help in reducing scrap price another rare indian fan, roopa, date is unknown but it is most probably 90s OX ceiling fan.. this one had a label identifying the company that made it... Tai Wah Kong manufactured OX fans, this ox is older than all the other ox fans i already have a newer version of JMC fan, just like the first one i got and finally 2 USHA kohinoor motors, they are both different ages, both older than the first kohinoor i got and newer than the taj deluxe model that looks like this

Wow! The brown Winner four blade is very cool. Is there any sticker on the top of the motor that indicates what blade span does it takes? It's definitely does not look like for a 90 cm blade span. 140 I'm guessing like most of the other fans you find. I might have seen this motor shape before. With all the spare blades you find, I'm sure you could reunite four matching blades for it. If the motor works well it would be worth restoring it as it looks very rare.
I love the Gold Wheels. They look like similar to some SMC's.

I like that Winner, looks very uncommon and overall neat. Can't wait to see what you do with that one, and all the others are great as well.

Have you ever owned a Japanese fan? If not, shut up.

got all the fans tested, thanks god all of them work.. the winner fan has badly jammed and locked bearings as compared to others.. i bought some bearings for replacements
as for blade assignments:
roopa will get the new khaitan blades, the brown roopa i got earlier will get another set of khaitan blades, painted brown 2 USHA kohinoors will be idle for now since i have no blade sets for them khaitan magnates will have its spare 90s blade set painted brown to match the motor (i was thinking of 2000s blade set for a while since i have 2 sets) winner will also be idle, i don't have any proper amount of blade set for this fan gold wheel may have the union blade set assigned, the other one will be idle ox will most probably have the blade set from the nonworking ox i got from the scrap a while back MEC will also be idle

I read a lot of your posts as rude. I think it's because you're rude. You do not seem do understand how things are outside of Quebec and how ceiling fans are in the US, which is where ceiling fans were invented and where most of them were designed and sold over the past century. I've had decades of experience dealing with ceiling fans in the US, online, and even outside of the US, but when any of my (or others) experience contradicts what you've learned in Quebec, you seem unwilling to accept it. I will happily admit I dont know everything, and am wrong or uninformed from time to time, especially about fans sold outside of the US, but I wont tolerate rudeness because you think I am wrong or disagree. I dont dislike you. I think you mean well, you find a lot of cool fans (online, in sightings, and in your collections), and I've certainly learned more about French Canada.

It might also be helpful for me to explain, when I come across as rude, I'm usually being partially humorous or sarcastic, not mean or upset. When I told you to shut up, it was somewhat playful. Those who know me or have been on these boards for years (remember the Pierce/God thing?) know this.

Those who know me or have been on these boards for years (remember the Pierce/God thing?) know this. Exactly. Same with me saying "that guy's an idiot" or "on drugs" when I see a ridiculous Ebay or Craigslist posting.

It really was not meant to be rude. Maybe slightly joking but practically neutral. It seems you have a misconception of me. It's like if you set up in your mind ''Everything I read from him have high chances to be rude and be an attack''. In person people don't find me rude at all. I've been to the United States a few times and saw a lot of fans there plus I bought some from there. I've seen a lot of pictures shared here of multiple types of fans notably Japaneses fans which seems to use a lot of plastic. I've lived a part of my childhood very far away from here completely on another continent where fans were usually different and often just a white spinner with three metal blades and a 5-speed wall control. I notably got a chance to see some mid century Marellis there. Apparently I found one of the coolest fans you've seen in a long time. Well it's cool to know that I'm not completely a monster to you. Hehe! I'm glad you learned more about here. It's the first time you write Quebec instead of Canada. I hope the things you learned about here at mostly good and not too bad.

Those who know me or have been on these boards for years (remember the Pierce/God thing?) know this. Reading something is very different than in person or on the phone. It's more difficult the understand if someone is joking or not. That's why I think it's better to add a little ''Hehe!'', ''lol'' or smiley next to it to help understand better the intonation and the meaning. Oh yes I remember the Pierce/God thing. You seemed very serious.
