Rescued some Gold Lines

[Deleted]

I thought these were brown, and I've ALWAYS wanted a brown Gold Line . . . turns out they're painted.

But they're saved. Building is coming down ASAP. Yes it's a super cool building, with all kinds of hidden/cove lighting, but it's in TERRIBLE shape with mold, water damage, graffiti, etc. Fans were ~20' up. Took the tallest ladder I had.

A neat building, what a shame.. I look at the fans first and thought they painted blacked before I read the post... Looks like one is still dark brown..

It's actually kind of a chocolate brown, lighter than the factory finish would have been.

Here is the Air Cool:

Thanks! These are very Taisy, given that they're industrials that need restoration. If you were in the US I'd send them to you!

Hmm.. I see what u mean lol!! For painting, I usually take it to an iso certified workshop to paint, I dont do it myself so as to get it in best shaped

How are the fans now after that they are pulled out?

Filthy, the paint jobs are terrible, and one of them has locked bearings. Havent tested them.

Man, that looks like an awesome building. Too bad it's going to get torn down Also, I'm assuming these were originally white?

[Tais]

Hmm... that kinda needs some hard work, first check the one with locked bearings then the others.. I always use WD40 for opening locked bearings, sometimes I apply force using the lock jaw plier to see whether there is potential or not

WD40 is what I use!

Sweet install, cool place. Glad you could grab the fans though.
