While waiting for Doomsday, my blades arrived and decided to make an updated progress video..
We still have a little over 6 hours..

Nice! I'm glad you got four blades in good condition for it. Where did the blades came from?
Do you think you will be able to make it multiple speeds?

That Emerson is AMAZING with the new blades you got! It's such an awesome find, and it takes VCF into a whole new realm of ceiling fans.

Thanks Cole and everyone else.. This ceiling fan is gallery quality, I will be adding it to the Emerson Gallery seeing how no parts are missing that are visible..

This is a two speed fan.. I will once I inquire a few Capacitors.. I found a three way pull switch at Home Depot.. Three wires, black-blue-red, same colors on the Emerson blenderfan. I hooked it up to the Emerson Blenderfan, this switch gave low/high/high/off.. I think I'll go with what Andrew said.. Home Depot does sell two speed pulls, but you'll get two high speeds.. Here's what it looks like..

I don't think that switch will work with that Emerson. The 3rd pull setting on that switch powers both red and blue wires. Which will ruin the capacitor and windings since both are powered at the same time.

I kinda have a feeling that the last position powers both up, But I'm not sure.. I hooked it to the blenderfan briefly to see how the switch works..

Glad to see that the fan runs balanced with those blades.
I wonder how fast it would go with a set, say, 52" wooden Emerson blades (like from a 2052 or a ToC). Not like you'd want to leave them on there for an extended period of time, but I'd be curious to see.

I suppose I could find out with the pull switch by removing the fast, vica versa slow speed to see if it powers back on on the last position before off with the blenderfan..
It would not run very fast.. Emerson blenderfans have alot of horse power behind them, the Antique Emerson doesn't.. I pretty much know how it will run with 52" blenderfan blades, not very fast.. Plus it was a Pain in the A** to screw the brackets and blades together..

Here's what it looks like.. Like I already said, this pullchain will..NOT..work. These pullchains are not two speed pullchains, but 3-way, as the packaging clearly states. Think of a configuration where a pullchain works "fan/light/fan+light/off"... that's it.

Think of a configuration where a pullchain works "fan/light/fan+light/off"... that's it. When I found out it was giving two high speeds I kinda figured that this is for both fan and light.. I was thinking three way as in one/two/off.. All there pull switches said fan/light so I figured it would work this way with a light or fan.. Oh well I waisted $4.97.. No biggie.. I'll throw it in my parts box for future references..
