And pieced this thing together for the heck of it because I had free time to kill. It's made up of about six different parted out fans. Motor housing and canopy are from a cleanup week find last year, still wasn't sure what that fan was. Motor is from a King of Fans Neon fan that the housing broke on. Switch housing is from a Codep hugger. Coupler from motor to motor housing is from a 90s Nutone. Electronics are from a Hunter. Blades/blade arms are from cleanup week two years ago, I don't really know what they are either. Downrod is just a spare. Just thought I'd share it considering it's a concoction of so many parts that were sitting around doing nothing.  |

If you hadn't described it in such detail I would've assumed it was a reg'lar ol' Encon. Nice work!

I would have assumed an Emerson/Alaska motor with random blades/arms.

Some of my better work, lol not. I hadn't really planned on doing it, but suddenly things were fitting together and this is what resulted. A half decent fan for being Franken-Fanned IMO, moves more air than a conventional Encon lol.

I wish I had this kind of time. I normally don't lol, that's why it's never happened before and it probably will never happen again.  |

You're all super busy? That much at this young age? For me there is a lot of procrastination. I have a huge light kit and glassware sell to make, I have to finish repairing that Banvil and I want to sell the chrome Nadair spinner.
It looks like it could be original. It's very well done. It's definitely close to an early Encon Monarch.
You must be pretty good with electrical wiring and capacitors if you can transfer theses to another motor and switch housing.
Too bad for the clear neon fan. It seems you already took out it's picture from the galleries and it's video on You Tube?

I'm a combination of procrastination and busy-ness, but mostly just busy. Usually if I'm even working on anything fan related it's on something more productive than this, I have so much stuff to do and what seems like no time to do it.
I'm glad this is going over so well lol, I never expected so many good responses here and on the other site.
This one was pretty easy, usually when I part out fans I leave most of the electronics intact in a system of pullchain(s), capacitor(s), and reverse switch. The Hunter electronics shared a similar number of wires and luckily colors, all I did was match them up and it worked fine, but I've done it from scratch using individual components on my New Orleans and a couple other fans. It's not too bad if you've done it once or twice and know what goes where.
