Not bad! Let me know if you ever wanna get rid of it! I personally don't like the painted blades but they're ok I guess.

Nobody knows what they really are.. Universal Series seems to be the more appropriate term for these.. The Heat Fans that I have have an "HF" in front of the model number and all the others have "CF"..

Really, they were all originally referred to as Heat Fans. When the first 3-blade models came about around 1979, the 'Heat Fan' (HF) designation was reserved solely for the 3-blade models and they were marketed for industrial applications; Emerson then applied the term 'Universal Series' (CF) to the 4-blade versions, as they would then be marketed for all-purpose/universal use, a step below 'industrial' (this would also explain why you'd see mostly fiberglass blades on the 3-blade versions and all plastic blades on the later 4-blade versions).

The first "blenderfans" from the 60s into the early 70s, with the pullchain in the center, werent referred to as "Heat Fans". They were the only ceiling fans Emerson sold, and were simply called ceiling fans.
The second version-- K63 motor, four fiberglass blades, switch housing-- these were the first ones that were referred to as Heat Fans. I believe they came out in 1974 and I believe they all had the CF-model designation.
When the 3-blade K63 version came out, these were the first to have the HF designation. I thought it was early 80s, not '79, but I dont have an exact date. By 1982 the 3 blade version was K55 and the 4 blade version was K55B.
The ONLY blenderfans I have seen labeled "Universal Series" have been the K55B version-- this includes 4 blade, 2 speed, and 3 blade, 1 speed (no switch housing). And they have all had the plastic canopy.
The only question I have-- did they make a four blade version at the same time as the 3 blade, K63 version, and if so, what blades/motor did it have, and what was it called?
IMO: metal canopy = Heat Fan. Plastic canopy = Universal Series. Whether not the model # is CF or HF is irrelevant.

They were the only ceiling fans Emerson sold, and were simply called ceiling fans. Whoops, I briefly forgot about these. Pre-Heat Fans... we'll just call them "Blenders." When the 3-blade K63 version came out, these were the first to have the HF designation. I thought it was early 80s, not '79, but I dont have an exact date. It was either 1979 or 1980. The only question I have-- did they make a four blade version at the same time as the 3 blade, K63 version, and if so, what blades/motor did it have, and what was it called? Of course they made 3 and 4-blade versions simultaneously. The 3-blade Heat Fans had fiberglass blades, while the 4-blade version was demoted to faux-woodgrain plastic blades. BOTH had K63 motors immediately after the marketing split; I know this because my white 36" 4-blade (2-speed w/ switch housing) and brown 3-blade Heat Fan are both dated 1980. As to what the later 4-blade version was called, I still want to say "Universal Series," although that term may have initially only been used internally.

Fasco's heat cylinder is switch houseless.. So to me it makes more since that the switch houseless versions would fall into the category of being a heat fan.. The canopy thing makes no since as Emerson offered both metal and plastic canopies to other ceiling fans, and I've seen a mix match of the both on other fans... Without anykind of box literature or anykind of packaging content such as instructions and warranty cards it's kind of hard to really tell anything.. Maybe they didn't even know what to call them at first, So it wouldn't surprise me if someone found a NIB one that had Heat Fan listed in one place and Universal Series in another.. Does anyone have anykind of literature to post?

The term "Universal Series" didnt show up until the 80s, and has ONLY shown up on K55B, plastic blade fans (and mostly plastic canopy). I've seen Heat Fan literature from the 70s, and Heat Fan and Universal Series boxes/manuals/warranty cards from the 80s.
I challenge anyone to find a fan sold as Universal Series that is not K55B, plastic blade, and even plastic canopy. Emerson mixed and matched parts enough that they probably exist, but I've yet to see one.
