got one of the fans from scrap completely restored! originally i only had the motor with a broken bottom, i managed to get the blades from a non working safer, lower canopy from the plastic rubbish area in scrap, a safer downrod which was used for another fan and a KDK upper canopy equipped on this fan!.. the original winding has a few of its cables cut but i managed to get it back to working without the need of rewinding but somewhat slow.. this fan heats up less than union fans and the newer safer fans the fan before restoration:   blades on the left  after restoration:        video coming soon |

How the hell did you fill in that hole at the bottom?

How the hell did you fill in that hole at the bottom? actually the hole is not filled, a round plate exactly that size was placed to cover it |

It looks incredible!
If you werent in a different country, I would send all my industrials to you to restore.
I have a Weatherite with badly bent blades, and a handful of Gold Lines with dead motors. I will NEVER get to them myself.

I will NEVER get to them myself. i have no problem with restoring.. the key behind the bending the blades back is using this tool.. the wider the grip, the better the results  as for winding, if the winding is all good but with a few cable cut, i would suggest connecting them with solder after sanding both tips... if only cut cable is shown and other one is hidden, the best way in this condition is to short that winding area with sandpaper and apply some solder and varnish just to keep in place if the winding is completely gone or burnt, rewinding is the only solution.. i never rewind it myself, i always take it for rewinding |

Very good restoration. You were lucky that the plate at the bottom of the motor fitted so well.

I have a couple desk vises.
Rewinding spinner motors is cost prohibitive here.

I'd forgotten about the hole after I viewed the first pics, that cover is amazing!
My dad's got capabilities for bending blades back, I just don't have any that need it lol.
