Boca Raton Habitat 2-25-2014

Me and Matthew met from here.. We went to the Boca Habitat and we both walked out happy.. Here's my haul.



Casablanca Columbia II

When I first saw it, I noticed a missing pot for the Slumber Quiet.. Got it home and pluged it in and did nothing.. Opened the switch housing and noticed the person who removed the pot switch didn't connect the wires together for continuity, and completely capped off the leads.. It works, and the PC board is in great condition.. Another project of fixing the Slumber Quiet system.. It looks to be a transition fan.. Jan of 1981.. Notice the plate where the reverse switch would go before they came out with SQ.. And notice the bell canopy..







NIB Monty Ward.. Well missing all the packing and motor box, fan is already assembled and I had to go on a search hunt for the control and the box for it..

Sweet finds! Love the Columbia II!

[Cole S.]

Oh that Casablanca. I want one of those so badly.

I have that same Evergo, love that fan.

[Matt R.]

That was a great find!! A beautiful fan, and one that was a joy to see in person. I'll have to come down that way more often. We hardly ever get anything like that up here. The antique brass Panama would have been amazing, if it were not already sold.

Thanks cole, fancollector, and Matthew..

I liked the Panama too.. I wonder if it was an older one.. Yes, we'll have to defiantly go fan hunting often.. I didn't realize that Malabar is near Melbourne, that's like an hour and a half - two hour drive down interstate 95.. Next week or the week after we'll have to hit the WPB, Miami, and Broward Habitats and Faith Farms..

I WANT THE COLUMBIA EVEN MORE THAN COLE DOES.

Ouch

I went ahead and ordered this:

and a few of this:

Lets see if the modification works on this, as it did with the Antique Brass Zephyr.. I still have an extra knob from when I pulled some off a few Four Seasons last year at a Habitat..
