Nice find! And your first Intelitouch fan! It was made on July 19th, 1990, and was the 545th fan made that day, according to the serial number. (:

BTW might I mention that it is a bit hard to get used to InteliTouch at first but it gets easy after awhile... you can get a manual (just type in the model # for the current Victorian, which is about the same instructions for using the InteliTouch system) and you'll be surprised at the features you can activate by pressing the buttons in combination! (Demonstration Mode, which demonstrates all the fan's features, is POWER, FAN, LIGHT, FAN, LIGHT, FAN, for example).

Thanks guys.. Seems like I get more American made stuff now than I do imported spinners.. It use to be the opposite..

Same with me . . . the imported stuff gets to be the same after a while . . . the same factories made most of them.

Your first Inteli Touch fan. I guess it had to happen. It's a beautiful fan. It's worth the price but at the condition that it works well. I hope it does. I bought one Inteli Touch Casablanca once and I was very disappointed.
I actually trend to prefer the ''imported'' fans you get with the exception of some Hunters and pull chain Casablanca.

You dont see a lot of American made ceiling fans in Canada. SMC, Union/Ngok Kee (the factories that made Evergo, Banvil, Envirofan, etc at least initially), Commander/Synlix, etc, were importing a lot more variations into Canada before the US. Especially in proportion to the hundreds of American factories making fans here, for here. Were there actually any ceiling fans made IN Canada? I cant think of any.
Adam, if you sell the control by itself you'll easily make $50. You could keep the fan, convert it to three speed or variable speed, and sell the circuit boards and the control. Or sell the whole thing. Or keep it as is. IT fans with the control are worth picking up, even for those of us who only buy low (like me) at $20-30 all day.

Especially in proportion to the hundreds of American factories making fans here, for here. Were there actually any ceiling fans made IN Canada? I cant think of any. There was a wave of Casablancas in the mid 1980's to early 1990's. Until recently it seems that it became ''in'' again to buy and sell Casablanca around here as I've seen some post 2002 models on Kijiji. It's cool that they are any at all. A lot of parts of the world it's almost impossible to see them. Yes it seems that SMC were imported in Canada as early as 1965 by Wilcorp. It would explain the SMC's that look quiet different with thicker motors and different canopies from the 1980's models. Canarm says they started importing ceiling fans from Hong Kong in 1975. The only ceiling fans I saw ''Made in Canada'' on are some late 1970's Banvils and some plastic Emersons. I guess what they meant was more like ''Assembled in Canada''. This I believe it but not made in for the Banvils. For the Emersons, it would not be impossible as a lot of portable fans of US brand were made in Canada at some point. Think of General Electric, Vornado and R&M. Plus there is all the Canadian brands that made their own fans too such as Torcan. Seabreeze still produces their two fans in Toronto. What does this have to do with the comment I wrote about Adam's fans? |

It's why you prefer imported fans. Although really, everything in Canada is imported.

As for Imports.. I still love my imports, and will defiantly take any variable speed GE vent ceiling fan, or anything like that from the 70s, early 1980s locally.. Still love spinners too, it's that I just haven't seen anything interesting lately, and mostly have been coming across American Made stuff lately.. I'm keeping the Victorian, and if I did sell it, I'd sell it as a "Whole"..

The IT system isn't bad, just difficult to work with...

After a while all of the imports start to look the same.
