I like the brackets on the Ritz, interesting how they're more 90 degree strait angle off the motor rather than a typical curved shape. TAT made ceiling fans are like that, from that era... They stuck to that bracket style even in the late 80s / early 90s when they made the Landmark for Hampton Bay..

I also didn't know that TAT made fans for Hampton Bay.

Lasko also made Hampton Bay fans, including the early Windward, or what is proposed to be a Windward (the GE vent kind, NOT the modern one, which was the II and newer).

I was not aware of that either. Is this the Windward you're referring to? www.vintageceilingfans.com/hamptonbayceilingfantype52clstylehd.htmlI didn't know such fan ever existed, I thought the Windward was always a Gossamer Wind blade fan.

Mark Castro and I spent the day fan hunting, hit up several Habitats and such. I only scored at the Chantilly ReStore, everywhere else was pretty dry. I got: Saff hugger, basically the 42" version of my exact childhood Saff. Has a very similar hum to it. Casablanca Victorian from 1984. It came complete with just about everything, including the recall clip. Unfortunately, the Hang-Tru body is missing. Mark acquired a Panama in some weathered-brick finish.

Neat finds! That Saff is cool, how big is the motor? It's weird that the info. stickers are on the outside of the motor housing! Did early IT fans (1984) do demo mode like you show in the video? Or does that mean the RMM was upgraded?

It's a decently sized motor, slightly bigger than what you'd find in an average hugger.
I haven't opened up the Victorian yet. The switch is dated 1989, so it's possible an upgrade took place.

Nice finds, that Victorian is great! The Chantilly Restore is probably the best one I've ever been to. How is their new location? Do they still have the piles and piles of blades and lots of random parts? That's my favorite thing about that Restore. I plan on stopping by there over the Thanksgiving holiday when I visit my parents if I have time.

It's big! The piles have yet to develop, but it'll get there.
