Mike's Latest Finds

I could use those. I have a Sea Island with painted over blades, and another missing blades.

Last week I went to visit my parents in MD and then my Grandmother in PA. While on my way I stopped by the Chantilly Restore and picked up this FPV top mount. It's dated May 1985 (only a few months older than me!) It's in very nice condition overall, a few very minor scratches, mainly on the blade arms, and some of the blades are warped and have very minor scratches but I should be able to flatten them out. I'm just happy that the blade arms aren't bent! While I'm not really looking for anymore fans right now I had to get this thing because I've never seen one of these in person, only a few in pictures. In fact I didn't even know they made FPV top mounts until about a year ago! Weren't these made by Universal?






Here's the motor without the bottom housing.

Very nice! I didn't know they made these either. I like it.

Love the footprint vents on that top mount..

Nice find. According to the UL file number, it was made by Air Cool, probably for Universal

Reminds me of the one I've seen in person, except that version had cane blades.

Thanks for the info Christian!

Very cool. Theses are not common at all. The motor inside the housing has a unique look.

Even if the brackets would have been bent, it would not have been so much trouble because theses are easy to bent back.
