Some of you know I've been in Montana since the 4th, and some of you have seen parts of my finds on Instagram as well. I honestly wasn't having any hopes up for fan finds this trip, I figured most placesI could look would be closed over the holiday weekend, specifically the Gallatin Valley Restore. Amazingly it was open though, and the place was packed with fan blades. IDK where all the motors went, but I got a ton of sweet spare blades. Also got a few cool fans so I'll start with the pics now lol.
First, the Bozeman/Belgrade area finds from the ReStore.
*I did look high and low for motors for these, couldn't find them anywhere. I also left behind a number of cool blade sets for SMC, Moss, Evergo/Winco (ornate GE Vent), and more Homestead.
Casablanca blades from a newer Victorian:
Homestead Universal Blades:
More Universal Blades:
A set of shorter Universal blades. There are 7 of these, so I will have to do some work to make it a balanced set:
Brand new set of Hunter blades, they look to be for an Original (same as what I use on my black restored one)
Set of Reversaire blades:
Hunter accessories. I grabbed pretty much one of everything they had except white slope adaptors because I already have two:
Hunter pull I found on a random shelf:
Now for the FANS! A lot of them are just dusty, not terribly scratched or otherwise damaged unless it's completely obvious.
48" Nutone Proline, only missing the mounting parts:
36"? or thereabouts Sanyo(/Lasko/Dayton) spinner, complete other than a rubber grommet for mounting:
Complete Universal with all six blades. Just no mounting bracket which is no biggie because it's a generic canopy:
Casablanca Cambridge IT. Unfortunately the blades were rattlecanned. I plan to do some repainting on it, doesn't look bad here but it's pretty scratched up on the white parts, but the brass is still very good. Missing the Hang-Tru, mounting ball, and IT control.
Matching pair of 56" Nutone Prolines. Complete except one is missing the mounting hardware. In good shape, albeit dusty:
Now for the Billings CL finds. Turns out that guy had four fans: two of "each", being two with straight blades and two with curved blades. They were all originally installed in a brewery, that's where they were picked up from because the guy was working this morning.
One of these is CEC-ish, and the other Evergo-ish, but both are labeled "Kevin By ESP":
And finally the pair of 48" Dayton/Marleys. I've wanted one of these in 48" for a long time, two is even better! One had a badly bent blade but I kinda got it fixed already, we'll see if it wobbles:
Installed pics and videos will come as I get to work on them, as you can see I have a LOT of cleaning to do on some of them!
