The model numbers are the same because they are both Heirlooms, one is just a different series of the Heirloom that's ornate...

The fan has the original finish, the blades were refinished on the flip side of the cane.. Both fans variable speed controls are not working properly.. The Moss Heirloom;s control takes no effect other then turning the fan off.. I remember someone on here posted an eBay link to a box variable speed control for a blower that works for fans.. Does anyone know if they are still available.. I'd like to get one for this Moss Heirloom.. That's what I meant. I don't like the new finish of the blades on that fan, like Dan said I'd repaint them. Those particular controls on eBay suck for ceiling fans. I bought the last four from their last lot and they don't work well for mounting in the switch housing and the minimum speed is way too fast. Tried to send them back but the seller never replied to my message.

Ooooh.. I could use one of those. It looks small enough to fit into the tiny, cramped switch housing of an Evergo spinner.

If works well, I'll probably buy a few more, plus the others and the one you have.. I'll have some lying around for future fans that may need some..

Let us know, I still need a bunch myself but after buying four of the others that were a flop I don't want to drop that much to try one.

I received the same control Cole got, and this video shows the slowest, and that's with the trim pot all the way down.. It fits in the switch housing fine but the threads surrounding the shaft of pot are short and don't make it to the hole.. Though it sits in there fine with the switch housing cap screwed in..
I'm still waiting on the other speed control to arrive..
Cole, did yours make the fan go slow like this?

I received the second control today and this one is able to stall the fan and some, adjusting the trim.. It's housed in a plastic shell, and the same size as the other box controllers.. Shaft on this one fits fine. Comes with a nut that pinches the plastic for a tight fit.. No threads.. for $20 plus shipping, I'd say it's worth it..

You can create your own threads on the shaft if you want to use a regular nut.

Actually was able to do that with it's original aluminum nut..

I don't think my control slowed it down even that much. It was a medium-lowish speed, more medium than low. Yes it fit in the switch housing fine but the threads didn't reach just like you said. No big deal, that is if the control would slow the fan down enough.
I'll probably look into that second control then, thanks for letting me know!

You're welcome.. It's a KB-Controls.com, made in Hong Kong.. They even have their own site you can order it off of.. But it's defiantly the best alternative and works as the original would.. I've got it on the Moss Heirloom HF-200 Series and now have the original aluminum nut with washer on it now, and can't even tell that's it's been replaced..
