Starting a new thread for the new year! I got the WIND light off eBay. They didn't include the shown box in the listing much to my dismay, but the light has obviously been used so now I don't feel as bad if I decide to repaint the white portion at some point. Also won many of those parts auctions on eBay. The one I lost was the pullchains that plug into the three speed boards, so not like a huge loss or anything. Some interesting stuff. Original mounting parts and seemingly all the screws from an Original (including those that hold on a switch cap), pewter Hang-Tru, and the Hunter 3-way fan/light controls which I've never seen before. Kinda similar to Casablancas using Flik, they just use a regular single pole switch to turn on the light, the fan, or the light and fan together. I also got a fan last weekend that Instagrammers here have seen, I'll post it all assembled when I get a change to clean it which will be who knows when now that I'm back at school.

One of my friend has a Hunter Sea Island in his porch controlled by a same control you got. The way it is controlled is that if you push a fan button, it starts on high, the it changes speeds (high, medium, low, and back to high). It can be turned off by holding a button. Same thing with light. One day, when I tried to turn his Sea Island on high, I pushed a button and it started on low. At first, I thought it had a memory of it being set on low, but when I pushed again, it slowed down. I kept trying to turn it on high, but realized that either the capacitor was bad, or someone climed up and set the chain to low. It turned out the chain was on low. I had to use a ladder to get it back on high, it was a mystery of how the chain got to low. Here are the videos I took there: Wall control: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Z7-puVHkEFactory speeds, while getting the chain back to high: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziqfqIFvryg

Glad I didnt decide to bid on any of this! Me too, because I legitimately needed most of the parts here. All the control systems were bonuses, and I've always wanted a WIND light.

The Wind series is always fun... I nearly got a Brass Wind at my local habitat... sadly it had left the day I had decided to come with my money.

It seems that Hunter's made many variations of that fan using the same motor housing and switch housing style. In non-American markets, they still make the same motor housing and switch housing style as the Seville II (pictured in Hunter's 220v/240v international catalogs). Sorry I don't know the name of this one

I like the Excaliburs as well! What is the difference between the early and the late?

The version after this one had reversible finish blades and the 90s-era Hunter mounting system, whatever it's called. Not sure if they had this switch cap or not, but the switch cap and canopy are what I love the most.

Thanks Farah! Got one more set of deliveries in. Under normal circumstances I would not be pouring out money like this (given these are all deeply discounted), but I feel like it's getting down to last chances to get some of the Casablanca stuff I've really been looking for/needing before all the lines start to totally change over to the new styles. First, I got this black Stealth no-light cap just for the hell of it because it was $12 and free shipping with the following fan. I think the caps look really wonky and would probably never use it, but like I said, for the hell of it. Then I got this NIB weathered copper 4 speed Panama. Blades are B206 dark cherry, I kinda wanted relic blades as are usually seen on these, but those were freakin' $90 which I wasn't going to pay for a set of blades and I like this cherry a lot better now that I see it in person. This is a finish I've wanted ever since I first saw it in person. I saved up to get one last summer at Great Fans in St. Paul, but they didn't have any in stock so I ended up without one. Glad I didn't get one there now, since I could get this for a whole lot cheaper. For those who haven't seen the finish in person, the pictures do it no justice. You have to experience it in person to fully appreciate the little details of the finish itself.
