Over the weekend Kelly Turner came down to San Antonio, we did the rounds in San Antonio, New Braunfels, Austin, and Georgetown. This is what I got. In Austin we were permitted to root around in the scrap metal bin, and that's where these Original motors came from: 52" White & Brass Hunter Original, motor was $5 and the blades and brackets were $2 36" W/AB Adaptaire Original, again, $5...missing one of the C arms 42" Brown Original, $5, I have replacement C brackets and walnut blades for it Blades for a plain brass Emerson Casablanca Classic, $1 3 bladed Casablanca/Homestead Airflow, was $75 on craigslist, I went to get just this one and the guy threw the other one in free just to get rid of it 6 bladed Casablanca/Homestead Airflow, was free with the above fan I also got some Hunter blades and a spare Hangtru

Is the Airflow 6 blader a stack motor? Looks like a Stealth.

Oh my god lol, I was wondering about that! The blades mount to the motor as six blades but they are half on top of each others and each set of two blades meet at the tips together. It is a confusing looking fan and quite special the way it's made. Rona and Réno-Dépôt sold this model here along with the Aero in the mid to late 1990's.

Is it just me, or does the last 6 bladed Homestead look eerily like a Stealth?

Is it just me, or does the last 6 bladed Homestead look eerily like a Stealth? It has resemblances, but it's really more like a 3 blade fan if you look at the link Jean posted. When assembled I don't really think the Atlantis looks a whole lot like a Stealth.

I thought the placement of the blades was odd for a 6 bladed fan, that makes much more sense. Now, these 2 fans are Versatouch but the look like I can use any normal fan control, is that true? Anyone familiar with Versatouch

Anyone familiar with Versatouch I am... sort of. Versa Touch is basically a stripped-down remote version of Inteli-Touch/Comfort Touch minus the beeps, basically.
