NICE FINDS. That Emerson should clean up nice. I'd start with WD40 to remove the rust.

Thanks.. The wires are completely corroded also. It would be interesting to see this thing actually work.. I would need to fabricate a set of blades or at least one blade..

Yes.. Since I started collecting fans the time I started the site.. I actually found one of these as a kid, it was in pristine condition.. Of course I don't know what ever happened to it, parents got rid of it.. Also found a white 52" of this in an abandoned house back in 1998, Don't what happened to that either.. A wire is not connected where the transformer is, three wires are going to that and another wire that's suppose to be going to something else..  |

I got a Delta I of that finish off Craigslist 3 months ago for free as the seller said it would not rotate.
Well, guess what?
I plugged it into the wall and the flywheel rotated just fine!

You can disconnect the speed coil, I bet it is toast anyways.
This would be a good one to wire up in series with a 300w bulb.

That's an Idea... Anyone know how old this Delta is? My guess early-mid 1980s.. And the speeds on this thing is Low/Medium/High.. Wonder if this is the way it should be or was this thing converted at one time.. Has a hole where it looks like a variable speed control would be.. Here's the tag  |

According to the serial number (ES12678), it's dated May 12 1984 and it's 678th unit made that day. And unless there's a 3rd hole, the hole is for the light pull chain.

Super nice finds!
The delta I that you have there was originally a 3 speed fan, and was Casablanca's "economy" fan at the time. The extra plug would be for a light pull chain.
