Some back story...
Outside Floresville is an antique shop in this run down little building, I mean you walk on the floors and the glassware rattles like hell. Building is PACKED with all sorts of cool stuff and has 2 Dayton Laskos hanging in it. One is running and has all the parts, the other one isn't and has no pull string or bottom cap. Yesterday I struck up a conversation with the owner about the potential of getting those ceiling fans and she said she'd love it if I took down the broken one. She was hesitant at first til I showered her my electrical license for the city of San Antonio lol. She also said the wiring all around needs checking up on, I had never given it any attention before but I looked it over and OH MY GOD, it is TERRIFYING. They had disconnected the original K&T and ran Romex from a new breaker box along the outside of the walls, with electric taped splices everywhere, and there are window ACs plugged in, some on a single circuit! I flat out told her it was bad, beyond repair, but as long as it functions....I did tell her to be careful running the air conditioning though lol. Usually it's off anyway since she leaves the doors open. However, I did remove the one fan and a vintage Pendant light she also wanted gone (Marce has that) and got both free. Today I put a new pull chain on the Dayton Lasko and it works great, moves a metric crapload of air
