Interesting how that SMC doesn't have the typical sideband. As far as I know, F52s always had the more standard filigree sideband.

I love that Lasko! Reminds me of a few of them in a certain arcade that Andrew will know of in Ocean City, MD. Those are long gone. Love the Carribean Breezes as well! And the GEV's!

chances are I'm going to be parting out the SMC.. I also got the other CEC/Moss thingy for parts.. I have one labeled J.C. Penney needing a bracket and two motor screws, and the one I'm getting from Daniel needing a set of blades, and one of the 4 blade models of these needing a downrod that's shorter... killing three birds with one stone..
The Evergo has been added to the Evergo gallery under:
Evergo Ceiling Fan Model 52"5E-5ELW P3S
Oddly this thing has a different model number than the other one I got from Daniel.. And it's Just as chunky, but resembles a Moss Heirloom Deluxe, like the chunky AB one I have that has a more chunky switch housing than the other AB ones I have..

Wow that canopy on the Evergo is small LOL. And LOL at the tag about the speed warning on the side... I think my grandma's 4B Evergo/Wards 52" GEV had that exact warning on the side.

Most all Evergo's of that era that have a switch housing do... The canopy isn't original, it looks to be a ball of a Moss canopy for sloped ceilings..

What were they thinking. Every standard fan of the 80s is going to start on High.

Thanks Cole!
Because there was a myth back in the late 70s - mid 1980s that it wasn't good for ceiling fans to start on a low speed.. They wanted you to start the fan on high speed, let it speed up, then select your speed.. That's probably why high/med/low became the standard and still is for three speed fans..

Not sure if it's that much of a "myth" with Evergo... both of my black and white huggers will occasionally stall if started on low... depending on the position of the rotor, I'm sure.

It's intresting to see the inside of those Hunter 1886 Series. The inside is pretty empty and I'm suprised that this motor can tolerate the weight of those housings plus the blades. It bearly looks bigger than the motors they put in Summer Brezzes and Low Profiles from this angle. It's supossed to have a wide lower canopy to cover the top opening but normally the canopy is not supossed to be pushed down the housing. It's supossed to stay on top of it. www.elights.com/hun1186.htmlIn the second sets of pictures, I think the two antique brass GE vents fans have thier canopies mixed up. The Moss(?) has the SMC canopy and vis versa. Vey nice that you found a pair of brown Moss Caribbean Breezes and with their controls.

I Think you are right Jean.. I'm use to seeing those as pictured in your link.. So it's missing a top piece also.. And the motor does look pretty cheap in it.. I'm glad I got the Caribbean Breezes, seeing how they are complete, I'll update that aircool in the galleries.. I'd like to find some 48" metal blade Caribbean Breezes.. They were quite common like the 36" ones but I never run across any.. Funny how you mention the GE Vents.. #1: The 4 blades ones pictured are labeled CEC #2: One I got from someone who gave me one by finding the website is labeled J.C. Penney with a bunch of numbers as the model. #3: These are labeled with just model numbers.. I'll have pics of all of them and the different tag probably by the end of next week

Both the J.C. Penney ceiling fans are listed under the Moss and Hong Kong Galleries under
J.C. Penney Moss Heirloom Deluxe Ceiling Fan Model 757-4002
and
J.C. Penney Moss Heirloom Deluxe Ceiling Fan Model 52"B
Both fans are the same, but with different labels, and look exactly like the slightly older ones with flat bottom motor..
Here are the videos
