Took down the Hunter Original in the living room, never thought I would, but it is going to the bedroom. I cleaned up my Emerson Casablanca Classic K 63 from 1979 and oiled the bearings. Put this up in the living room. Need to get some long screws to install the canopy, and find an Emerson switch cap. I had to borrow one from a hunter. It runs great, moves a bunch of air, and has a very slow low.  emerson K 63 002 by perfectjazz78, on Flickr  emerson K 63 003 by perfectjazz78, on Flickr |

The fan is beautiful! The fans that Pop up here in California are absolutely pathetic, with the occasional W85 stealth being the best that one would generally see. Did I mention the only vintage fan I have seen in person was a pre slumber quiet K63 Victorian?

Are the switch caps on these the same size as those on a blenderfan?

I think so. And same as Fasco Parlorfan and some Hunter I believe. For the time being, I have a Fasco Parlor fan that is ending up as a parts fan for various reasons. I'm going to take the cap off of it, paint it brown and put it on the Emerson, Unless someone has a spare cap laying around.

Did I mention the only vintage fan I have seen in person was a pre slumber quiet K63 Victorian? You might find some good vintage fans on Craigslist. I occasionally look at California Craigslist fan listings for pictures and have seen some Vintage items. This was a lucky $15.00 habitat store find. I put about $10.00 in it. I oiled that bearings thoroughly, cleaned the blades with Murphy's Oil soap. Polished them with Scott's Liquid Gold wood polish. I repainted the rusted blade screws and washers black, and added 20 rubber washers to the fan. 1 to each blade / bracket connection for a total of 12. I put washers between the moter mount and housing, one on each side. This keeps the fan super quiet by isolating vibration. I also took the fan apart and cleaned it. |

Speaking of Jeremy, I haven’t heard much from him lately. Is he still around? He seems to be pretty active for a week or two, then you won’t hear from him for months at a time.
