When specs are worth mentioning, I'll include them lol. I get pretty excited when I see 212mm these days, usually I'm just hoping for a 188mm. Scratches inside the housing have never bothered me any, since it's not like you'll ever see them. It's not exactly what I want to see, but as long as what you can see on the outside is flawless and it functions perfectly (as this fan does), it's not a big deal. True. And about the disastrous blade selection Emerson now has, there is one blade design that actually looks nice. However, it does have a stencil on the bottom while the top is devoid of any such detail, and it only comes in walnut with a little blackening around the stencil on the bottom side of the blade. I would install those blades with the stencil facing upward on any traditional fan, whereas the stencil would be facing downward on a ornate fan (EX: the crown). And if the blades went horribly with the fan, I would simply stain them another color (as they are solid wood).

Attachment Deleted The blades on this avant eco are nice (the top of those blades do not have the detail/ stencil on them).

Habitat produced a thing yesterday. I was confused as to what it actually was until I could get a good look at the label, which says Union Ngok Kee, and 'Tradition' on the same line as the model number. However, there are some blatantly SMC-esque parts on here, and maybe even a little of something else mixed in. Top of the housing looks like SMC, motor inside is definitely standard black Union spinner. Downrod looks like the SMC rods with the integrated claw, but without the claw. Blades have some warpage and the bearings are noisy, as I pretty much expected them to be, but it's powerful and in otherwise decent physical condition, quite clean when I found it. It had a rather misguided generic light fitter installed, I took it off because I thought it looked better without and didn't have anything more desirable to put on.

Went out of town this past weekend, hit up a ReStore I went to last year but it was a bust. Picked up a few small things and that was all, there were a few moderately interesting fans to look at but they were all either beat up or overpriced. Also went to a couple thrift and/or antique stores, at one I found this Supreme Mark IV GE vent fan. At first I wasn't particularly interested, but when I started thinking it was Supreme I figured why not grab it because it was half price the day I was there. It has some similar details to my PB Supreme emperor, but for a minute I wasn't sure about the actual make of either fan until Dan helped me confirm that the sticker styling on this fan is indeed Supreme. It's just a pretty basic fan, nice vintage appeal, I just found it more interesting because it doesn't really come across as a Supreme product. One blade arm was severely bent because it was sitting on the blades, thankfully it was fixable without any breakage.

Another beauty.. Are all the blades angled slightly upwards?

If its not much of a hassle, pictures would be interesting.. As stated previously, there are two main variants of wattage limiters (dimming type and non-dimming type). On the left we have a dimming type, and on the right we have a non-dimming type: From the particular models shown here, disassembly is far more straightforward on the non-dimming limiter... Dimming: Non-dimming: The circuit boards for both types of limiters placed side by side (same order as when they were assembled); The dimming type uses a transistor to control the load: The non-dimming type on the other hand uses a simply replay: If anybody wants to see more images of wattage limiters, just let me know

Perhaps slightly. Can't speak as to whether that was factory or not though, as they were all bent completely out of whack. I just picked a spot that required as little bending as possible to get it somewhat balanced again, which may be slightly upward. I was being very careful since these are the type of arms that can snap with very little pressure.

Thanks for the pictures.. They both look stupid.. They are indeed! The only type of limiter that should ever be installed in a light fixture is a thermal fuse for safety reasons...
