Found my very first Tatung today, one of the very few I've ever even seen in person. It's missing the variable speed control so it only runs on high, but that can be replaced pretty easily. Overall I'm pretty satisfied, it's not in the greatest shape but it was actually cheap for the prices I've been seeing over there lately. The blades are GORGEOUS!  And I found another set of Emerson blades, appear to be from a Derby with the fade marks left behind. I wonder where all these Emerson fans are that blades keep coming in from, and what happens to the rest of the fan? I don't even know of anyone who sells or sold Emerson here other than Sears and such back in the day.  They also had a red Concord that I was tempted to get just because I love red fans but it wasn't in the greatest shape and the Tatung took priority. If the Concord sticks around maybe I'll grab it on a sale or something. |

You know you could use a wall control to change the speeds, right?

It seems you were in a hurry when you made this post. When you say ''over there'' I suposse you're mean the Habitat?
I love it. It seems to be a pretty rare model. The vents are quite unusual. Tatungs are also very rare around here. I only saw one on Kijiji in Quebec City once. I'm not even sure if it was really labled Tatung. I would love to find one of those model with the Caribbean Breeze motor, switch housing, pointed tip blades and long and narrow canopy.
What kind of Concord it was exactly? A Decorama?

Again, great finds.

The motor housing is like huge on these things, I really love that. It seems you were in a hurry when you made this post. When you say ''over there'' I suposse you're mean the Habitat? I love it. It seems to be a pretty rare model. The vents are quite unusual. Tatungs are also very rare around here. I only saw one on Kijiji in Quebec City once. I'm not even sure if it was really labled Tatung. I would love to find one of those model with the Caribbean Breeze motor, switch housing, pointed tip blades and long and narrow canopy. What kind of Concord it was exactly? A Decorama? I was in a hurry, I still am. Wrapped up in end of school and graduation details, not much time for the forums this past week or this next week. I usually mean Habitat unless I mention otherwise. I'd love to find more Tatungs in general. They had some neat fans, don't see a lot of Tatung or TAT around here. The one thing I hate about this one is the downrod-to-motor attachment system. It's just like a pin through the motor shaft with set screws in the downrod. It's a horrible system, the screws don't grip well and the motor is all loose there. I'm modifying it to take a real downrod coupler, not caring too much about originality since it's not in the greatest shape to begin with. Who looks at the downrod coupler anyways lol? Yes I think it was a Decorama. |
