Oooh yeahhh, it's that super-ancient, super-mangled little TAT Deluxe you pulled out of one of those abandoned 'airport-buyout' houses forever ago.
I'm surprised you still have it...

Hopefully get some new blade arms for it and refinish the blades and it'll look awesome again!

Actually it was a roadside find, but it was around the time that I was still finding stuff from Abandoned airport buyouts.. I got the blade brackets back in shape.. It runs wobble free pretty much now..  |

Great little fan!! Hunter made a copy back in the late 1980s/early 90s. Any idea of how old the Tat is?

Wow you did a good job. Were they easy to bent back? It must have ran pretty slow when the brackets were still overpitched. Canarm never seemed to have offered this model in the older version with bell canopy but they had the later version with a slightly less chunky switch housing and a ball & socket canopy. I love how the 107 cm version have smooth arm brackets as opposed to very straight arms. The proportions are very good for a fan of this size. GE vent fans with bell canopies of this size are not very common. I have one, this rare 1984 Guibb GE vent. The mounting is actually double claw instead of J-hook. A very odd and rare fan. www.vintageceilingfans.com/membergalleries/gallery/showimage.php?i=125&c=48 |

They were easy, because they are very flexible.. Looks like the type if you keep bending them, they'll get weaker and start sagging down..
I've updated the gallery pictures..

This looks 100% like a Tyeb, which is unusual since it is labeled TAT Deluxe. It even has the high reverse slower than high forward and low reverse faster than the low forward (in fact the reverse speeds seem almost indistinguishable from each other).

I saw a 52" version labeled Canarm with a filigree sideband and cane blades, and it was on reverse before I switched it on forward for the video. Maybe I should have shown all speeds on both directions, seeing how TAT Deluxes have different speeds on reverse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-3JCxPI4AU |

Of course I remember it. As I said on YouTube this was always one of my favorite fans in the galleries overall. The proportions are so good and as Jean said you don't as often see fans in this size with a classic bell canopy.
