They are indeed! The only type of limiter that should ever be installed in a light fixture is a thermal fuse for safety reasons... You mean a resetting thermal switch?You mean like the snap discs in recessed lights?

You mean like the snap discs in recessed lights? You mean a resetting thermal switch? Yes, that is exactly it. Instead of being a failure-prone waste of space, a small thermal switch connected to each light socket would actually accomplish something useful by improving safety!

Got this Strato-Fan/Evergo from one Mark Welker. I love these fans and I love obscure labels, so the combination of the two here made this irresistible. Has some cosmetic issues of course, nothing too major. Bearings are a little stiff, but they get better as it runs. Seemed sluggish in operation, there were reports that the capacitors in these might be a bad batch so I tried swapping it and it now runs much better. I just absolutely love it, so happy I didn't pass this up. Video will be here: youtu.be/RkPpjreE5XY

I stretch iMovie's capabilities as far as I can.

So I'd never seen one of these Emerson San Marino knockoffs before, when this one showed up on eBay NIB I was gonna throw in one bid and see what would happen because I was immediately intrigued. All it took was the one bid I guess. Does anybody know the model name for these? It's series CF6000, all I've gotten so far is that it was in the AirDesign lineup, which I kind of assumed based on the characteristics of it. Unfortunately only four blade arms were present upon arrival (only four were pictured in the listing, I took a gamble and lost lol). Emerson parts service came through for me again, I was thankfully able to purchase a full set of replacement arms, which are obviously the same as would be on a Premium. I'm still not sure if these are the correct arms, but the four that came with it were Premium arms. No blades were included, pictured is a set I had on hand that I thought went with the brass well. Really a neat fan, the housing kind of looks like it could be cheaply stamped, but it is indeed a nice casting. Performance is pretty much like any other stack motor Emerson fan from the era.

I was so gonna get that, and when I saw the single bid on it, I thought it would have hopefully been bought by you, and here it is! lol It looks quite nice

Well I'm glad you're happy with that. A few people had been expressing interest, so I was just gonna toss in a minimum bid pretty much, and if someone really wanted it they could have it, but nobody else bid lol.

I saw those at a pub I went to about an hour from my residence, and I liked them. Either this fan had a gloss black color option or the entire fan must've been repainted. I have not been back to that pub so I do not know whether they have disposed of the fans or not. Anyways, nice fan!

I'd imagine they did have a glossy black option for a fan like this, seems like most fans in the AirDesign line were offered in black. Do you recall that the ones you saw had Premium-type blade arms? I'm hearing that this was offered with different arms, but that it's not impossible that the Premium arms are the correct ones for this one either. Knowing Emerson as a parts bin kind of company, nothing is impossible lol.
