Minneapolis Again (NIB Casa Accessories like crazy)

[Cole S.]

I'm in Minneapolis again, I couldn't wait to post this here so I'm doing it now. Not really any good fans at Habitat (I think there were only two there, they clean out FAST in the summer), but there was a plethora of NIB or new sans box Casablanca accessories there. I got this whole lot for $50, should've been nearly $100 but the guy was just happy to get it out of the now smaller lighting section. I left a few behind too, and a few were broken and not worth getting but I may go back for the good stuff if I don't find much else as far as fans go.

But this is two sets of Saturn rings with center globes and bottom diffusers (which I desperately needed) and the rest are pretty much spot light kits on the ring fitters in weird finishes like designer gray, dusty rose, ferrari red, chrome, and antique white. Also got two small three light kits, one black sans box and one ferrari red in box.

Nice! Here's hoping you find some cool fans! (:

[Cole S.]

I'm on the CL hunt for a couple fans, but only the really cheaply priced ones. After my Montana haul I'm not really interested in overpaying for much of anything.

[mndoss06]

Awesome haul Cole! It's always great to find spare parts and accessories.

[Cole S.]

Alright guys, here is everything!

All the light kits. I went back and cleaned them out, all I left behind were two antique white and one designer gray standard spot kits which were all completely broken and not in boxes. Unfortunately some of the second batch are missing the plastic trim rings or have broken ones, but I grabbed them all anyways. Some instruction and screw/wire nut kits are also missing, as well as many of the included light bulbs.


Three designer gray kits, all in box.


Three antique white kits, two in box and one not.


Four dusty rose kits, one of each style is in box, and the other of each is without box.


Three ferrari red kits, both stepped kits are in box, the standard is without box.


Single chrome kit. Most of the trim rings are broken on this one.


Single newer classic white K4B. Had a broken trim ring but I already replaced it with a similar spare I had.


Five of these three light kits, two black, one ferrari red, one designer gray, and one which I think may be desert sand (or antique white). The two with boxes are sitting on their respective boxes. Many of the light bulbs in these are broken.


And of course the two Saturn kits with diffusers, no fitters for those wondering if they're in there, just the glass and hardware.



Here are the fans I got, amazingly from Kiry on the other site again just like a lot of my haul last summer lol. Need to get a few things for the Bel Air, the other two will be easier. The Zephyr is fine (just no control), and I just need a remote for the Star and maybe a new piece of glass if I can't buff out the scratches on this one. Sorry for the crappy pic, will have better ones of them installed.

[Cole S.]

Here is the Zephyr installed, works pretty flawlessly other than a slight wobble which can be remedied.


The others will take longer to install. Thought I could use the VersaTouch remote I have with the Star, but the circuit board is completely corroded away and I need new electronics now. Blades for the Bel Air are coming, need to call Casablanca for the glass still.

Some really neat stuff - very cool that you found all those light kits in the less common finishes. Those could really help you out in a pinch if you find a Casablanca in an uncommon finish that's missing a switch cap or needs a new light kit.

I love that Zephyr!

[Cole S.]

Thanks, Rick. Yeah the light kits are gonna be really handy, and I'm helping a few people out with some things they want out of it as well.

[Jean Lemieux]

I did not even knew theses light kits would include bulbs with them. It's good they even do. What is the wattage for the incandescent reflectors?

The red and chrome spot light kits are awesome. If you find a red Delta II you will know what to put on it. The chrome spot light kit might be useful on your glossy black and chrome Saturn. Are you gonna put theses Saturn light kits on some on your glossy black & PB Saturn? I'm surprised to see opal white tubes on them. Usually the central tube is frosted no?

Humm I love the Zephyr! A very good finish combination.

Casablanca always used to include bulbs.

[Cole S.]

Even recently Casablanca included bulbs with the higher end light kits at the very least, like the new style K4S I have NIB has bulbs with it. I think the reflectors are all 50 watts.

Yeah the chrome spot would be good for the Saturn, I also wanted one for use with my chrome Ventura if I ever use it somewhere that requires a light. Well basically I got the Saturn lights for future use, but I desperately needed both center globes and one set of rings with PB hardware. I still need a set with chrome hardware for that black/chrome Saturn. The thing is, I can't add these to existing fans because they didn't come with the light fitters, it's just the glass parts in the boxes, but they will be very good for fans missing those parts. The center tube I already had from my white/chrome center is opal, I think I see the opal ones more often than the frosted.

It is a good finish combo on the Zephyr, I really like it and I don't think you can ever really have too many Zephyrs.

[Cole S.]

Don't know if there's really any interest left lol, but I got the new VersaTouch 2 electronics for the Star today and they work great. So here it is installed with its sort of twin in the background.


Bel Air should be coming, just waiting on the glass which I hope will be here Monday but who knows.

[John "Rockin" Reed]

Never seen a Star with a Hang-Tru.

[Cole S.]

LOL I'd never seen a Star with the Homestead canopy until I got mine. The ones with the Homestead parts are fairly uncommon, most of them came with Hang-Tru in the later part of the 90s run and completely throughout their more recent comeback.
