40 cm toshiba desk fan I bought yesterday!!!

[philippe1995]

Hi there! It's been a while, I know... The other Day Jean was talking about his new Toshiba Cooler master he got for ten bucks and he sent me a link of this Toshiba for sale on kijiji montréal for only 10$!!! I had to get it so that's what Jean and I did yesterday. The fan was full of dust but we cleaned it so it looks like new! that only physical look because the motor makes some strange noises when running... :/ a little oiling later the noises are still there but a little bit less. Is there a way to remove the oscillation knob on these? otherwise the motor cover is not able to be removed. I'm still very happy to have bought this because it's my very first 16" portable fan and also my first 4 blade fan.

Now pictures!

Hehe! It's actually Cool Sprinter and not Cool Master.

I love how you camera brings out the blue of the blades very well.

It was really fun getting that fan with you and fixing it. I'm really glad you finally got your first 40 cm desk fan and that I'm not the only one to have a Toshiba around here anymore.

Notice everyone that Philippe's version does not have the timer that my 30 cm equivalent have. This base does look better in the bigger version.

Total eye candy here! Great find, and it's super cool you guys worked together on it.

Oh yes it's really nice to do this at two with another person that likes fans.

It's the same Toshiba that I posted the link very recently after getting my Cool Sprinter. You wrote that you wished that Toshibas grew on trees in your area too. Hehe!.

[Cole S.]

Yes and I still wish they grew on trees! These are all truly beautiful fans.

Jean and I met yesterday. I was able to open the motor cover from the toshiba. It's been oiled again and the mysterious noise is still there. Anyone has an explanation for this noise? berrings?

Either bad bearings or fiber washers. Try running the fan upside down to see if it goes away.
