got all my CEC fans except the 56" curved blade version mounted on the ceiling, i didn't expect to love them that much!
the 56" curved blade version is currently being painted and once it is done, i will join it with the others and make a group video
starting with the 56":
one of the earliest fans i obtained from the scrapyard in my first days, it was in a terrible condition up to the point i considered scrapping the motor or transplanting an 80s SMC motor in it (since it had the exact same diameter), but instead, i managed to solder the cut windings back, apply gasket to separate the windings that had contact the stator.. both canopies are spares, i didnt have any better ones as for now.. when i mounted it, i expected the fan to have trouble operating or produce some sounds, but strangely it was quiet (except for bearing) and it operated perfectly!
48":
found these 2 2 years ago in a building awaiting demolition ("what a jackpot" thread) within a pile of fans dismantled by the contractors, they are probably the latest of the CEC fans i have since they have plastic round capacitors and the downrods are not threaded as compared to oil filled caps and threaded downrods in older models.. they seem to spin faster than any ordinary 48" fan, or maybe thats just me
for some odd reason, the straight blade version produces some weird sounds which just sounds so amazing!
36":
some of you may remember the 36" CEC fan i mounted and showcased earlier, this fan was the filthiest fan i ever got, filled with kitchen oil, layered and coated with paint, then layered again.. then i managed to restore it and here it is showcased again with other CECs! this fan runs exactly as fast as the 48" versions, it has a noticeably smaller motor, it consumes only 45 watts as compared to the 48" and 56" versions which consume 95 watts
