Yes, those are longest blade brackets That I ever seen.. While I was down there yesterday, I decided to check out the Habitat, and I ran across a set of 4 blades.. Appears to be Emerson.. Wood, and doesn't have the Emerson shape.. Anyone would like to take a while guess? Looks like they go to something rare..   |

Anyone would like to take a while guess? Looks like they go to something rare.. Maybe something uncommon, but not ancient. Note that the blade irons are the newer, cheaper stamped variety. |

It could be from the late 70s, early 1980s.. Could have went to something that was neat..

Well done! I know what it's like to dig for parts in places you wouldn't expect, totally been there before. I found Casablanca blade arms and Hang-Tru canopy hatches in a bin of switch plates at a place Dan told me about once.
I have one of those boxes for Moss schoolhouse light kits. Mine isn't in any better condition lol, one side is torn out haha.
The R&M light is cool too!

I had a non-floral variation on that fan come into Habitat once... looked like a Comfort Breeze replica. Same low profile mount, same ridiculously long brackets. As I recall it initially went slow like yours, then I hooked it up again after some tinkering and repairs it went really fast. I wonder if the capacitor is good in yours? Not only is it slow on high, the speeds are pretty close to each other.

Not only is it slow on high, the speeds are pretty close to each other. Mine exhibited the same characteristics as yours.. but then again, mine has a short in the motor. This stupid thing could either just be slow as hell or it could have a bad capacitor. I'm actually not sure which it could be, as my mid-80s TAT deluxe, which uses the same motor, actually has relatively normal speeds. |

I'm actually not sure which it could be, as my mid-80s TAT deluxe, which uses the same motor, actually has relatively normal speeds. Ya I noticed that too.. I'm not sure what it could be.. Seems like a common problem with these, and my TAT deluxe also runs normal.. And the other lighted housing fans run a normal speed too and they have the same motor and model number also.. Right now I'm in need of a wiring diagram for the Ju Feng with the switch housing.. Messed with it the other night and it went ka'boom and tripping the breaker (might have fried the variable speed control).. Tonight I was able to get it to go, by pushing the motor... This thing does have the capacitor which at first I though it didn't.. I have everything totally disconnected so I would need detailed pictures or a full diagram.. Does anyone have a fan like this or toastmaster close to it? Would have to be Variable speed and reversible.. Motor screws are missing and I noticed two blue wires coming out of the downrod, this fan may have been used for trying other things or testing purposes..  |
