Which fans should i mount?

[Tais]

my grandpa recently bought the farm from its previous owner.. there is a house that originally had 6 JMC fans, 5 were removed either by previous owner or scrapped and 1 (the filthiest one) remained.. i am acquiring that fan and all the existing regulators


the house has 4 rooms, 1 kitchen and the hall where i can mount the fans, the hall and kitchen originally had no regulator, however..


i got the permission to install 6 fans in the house.. however, i am insisted that i have to be paid as if i am selling my fans, however.. and another issue is they need new fans... i cant bother buying new fans but i am planning to restore my fans to the fullest as if it is new..


i came up with several sets of fans to put but i am not sure which set of fans to choose.. i would appreciate some help in making up decision or coming up with better suggestions..


all rooms require 56" fans, 52" are ok (48" will look too small), medium or long downrod, ceiling is too high for short downrods.. i am planning to put a unified set of either of the following:

regulators will all be SMC regulators except in set 52's case

set 1: 5 relite fans and majestic (majestic in the hall) all relites will be equipped with new KDK canopies due to the lack of original ones, they will look like the one below


set 2: 5 safer fans and majestic (blue cross and 3 80s EMC in 4 rooms, the bulky safer in the kitchen and majestic in hall)


set 3: 6 union fans


set 4: mid 90s and late 80s SMC fans



set 5: 6 national F560Y and all its lookalikes


set 6: 6 80s curvy bladed SMC


which set do u think looks best? u can come up with a better suggestion if u got any.. but i want it to be unified

Will the fans be well cared for? Basically, is this a place for your prized favorites, or one to put fans something could happen to?

The fans will be rarely used, with a possibility of once per 2 weeks..

I'd go with Set 3 (6 Union fans)...I think that'd look pretty cool.

I would go with set 4 so it this way you would not lose too many cool fans. You have so many of these SMC's from the late 1980's to mid 1990's.

Of course it would be cool to see the Majestic installed so set 1 or 2 could be interesting. Is it the older four blade one you got or the newer five blade you bought NIB that you want to install there?

I would ditch set 3, 5 and 6 as they are either more rare/valuable fans you would not want to lose and also because the fans would be all the same so it would be boring. It's cool to have not all the same exact fans in a house.

I agree with Jean.

What does the Majestic look like? You didnt post a pic of it, or am I confused?

My favorite of the fans above are the Safers. I love those!

i didnt post the pic earlier, i am thinking of putting the 5-bladed one


Personally, my favorite 2 sets were 1 and 2 and i was also thinking of 4 as well

Still dont know which fan is the Majestic . . . maybe I'm slow.

U can find it in the member galleries under super majestic

I like the ideas of Unions or Safers, but my pick is set 4 as well. Those seem to be so common so you can let them go pretty easily, and they're still pretty nice fans that I think would be a good choice for an install like that.

A small update:

Majestic has been rejected, decorative fans are not needed, only plain fans.. the JMC will most likely stay

i got 3 more JMC fans, so along with this it could be 4 JMC in the 4 rooms and 2 fans under decision in the hall and kitchen
