Hey guys! Since the past summer, I’ve acquired two fans. First off, I got this neat McGraw-Edison “Zero” fan back in October. It is Model 08499. Simple plug-and-go fan. A family member found this at an antique store and got it for me. In the midst of the busyness of school at that time, this was a really awesome surprise. Some of you may have seen the YouTube video already. Despite its rusty condition, it works great...it rattled a bit at first, but a squirt of oil took care of that. I also cleaned it up a bit. Pics: Video: ---- Second – I got an ebay fan for Christmas! Not much of a surprise since I told my parents I wanted it as a Christmas gift , but of course I was still pretty excited to get it. As some of you know, Dominion is one of my favorite brands with regards to portable fans, and this model was high on my want list! It’s a Dominion Model 2011-A, in pretty nice shape. It’s single-speeded, and has an on/off switch and oscillator. The fan was fairly clean on the outside to begin with, but the inside was pretty nasty as expected. Before the full clean-up and oil, it was super sluggish and stopped on a dime when switched off. But after I cleaned the whole thing and oiled the bearings, it ran significantly better! I bet all that gunk was really slowing it down. Pics: Video will be up soon hopefully!

Couple of good classic fans. I love those Dominions, I passed one up once and haven't seen one since. Kinda regret passing on it now.

I'm sorry I completely missed you guys' comments a few months ago ...but they don't go unappreciated!! Couple of good classic fans. I love those Dominions, I passed one up once and haven't seen one since. Kinda regret passing on it now. Thanks Cole! I had actually never seen a Dominion like this before except online. I just love the color and 50s look of it. It proved to be a great runner, as I used it all semester in my dorm room. Rick, if you come up here and visit, I'll give you a few portables like this. That would be awesome, Dan! I'll let you know the next time I'm near your place. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By the way, here's the video of the Dominion (finally!)
