Thanks man lol They sometimes run the fans in the library. not all the time Not sure what happened to the Dayton lol I got the elegance off craigslist for 50 The pretzel bracket confused me too. It is green. someone told me Encon or something like that. The Altura is just for show. blades are obnoxiously thick and it moves so slowly, i could barley get a breeze from it. but it sure does look nice in the area that its in The four seasons is pretty awesome. I just switched the blades so now it has my Zephyr's cane blades. I want to replace the light kit for it soon cuz the switch cap is all bent out of shape and everything I could see Encon as a possibility.. but I'm really not the one to ask when it comes to identifying makes or models lol..
My uncle has an Altura in his living room.. ceiling is really high fan is on a several foot downrod.. it actually puts out a good breeze.. the blades are just too long to be mounted on a standard ceiling height..

Hey you all. So I'm back with a few more things that have come up this summer I'm starting my Zephyr Project. I got the conversion kit for the Inteli Touch. The only parts i'm waiting for are the new IT board and the new control i switched the Four Season's blades to the Zephyr's. so now this is how itll be whenever it will be installed I recently also got a genuine casablanca k1k-45 fixture for my Ventura i'm installing next week. instead of the Schoolhouse globe, it will just have a regular globe I was lucky to fin probably the only estrada that anyone in the fan collecting group has. Navajo white with matching blades. Its a real powerhouse I wasnt planning on this happening, but I got a k4s-11 for my Wailea by mistake. it doesnt fit 100% but it works and it looks great. Installing it in my bathroom next week Last night, i drove from my job (bout half hour south of Boston) to Warwick, Rhode Island to pick up this beauty off craigslist. A Casablanca Delta II with stencil blades. Beautiful combo. installing it in my attic as a permanent fixture next week also I bought a Panama off of collector Mark Castro back in april. It arrived in june. He was nice enough to throw in a w11 control with the fan. It originally came with no light kit, and classic white blades. I customized it by giving it Rosewood blades, a k4s-9 light kit, and the square shades. So whenever i get my own place, This is going to go in my bedroom probably. I love the look of it and how it came out

I love your attic, I'd be glad if I had one like that too. Must be very hot in summer ?
I love the estrada and it's light kit.
What happened with the wailea, did you installed it ?

So my summer is over. Here's my last few posts for august before i head back to school! Replaced the glass shades on my Ventura. I still dont like them too much but they look better. Still taking suggestions on which glasses would look great on this Went to visit my friend from high school at his house for the first time. He has a Matte Black Beverly Hills or Craftmade Decorative in his living room. He also has a Brushed Nickel Casablanca Metropolitan. This is the first time I've seen a 42" Metropolitan. Ran by inteli touch Hung up my Zephyr with the new LCA i bought for it. I FINALLY found screws long enough for the switch cap and light kit. I noticed that one blade drooped lower than the rest. Come to find out that the flywheel was bent in one section. It doesnt affect the spin, but does let one blade down longer than the rest. I'm taking suggestions on the glass for this one too. I still need an IT3 board and control for it. But id like suggestions for glasses! Went to my first restore out in West Roxbury. Found a complete Quick Connect, an indrustrial, some 36" R&M blades, a pile of NIB casablanca blades and a Casablanca Hermosa. I ended up leaving with the Hermosa for 15 bucks The Hermosa worked fine except for one issue. When I turned the power on, the fan started spinning without me having to push the fan button. I heard there was a circuit or something what wasn't being read by the rest of the board. So chances are, I'm going to have to get a new board and a new control. but here it is hung up. The glass and light kit itself are not original, but i think wherever I install this, this will be how it looks When I posted the restore trip on the ceiling fan Facebook page, fellow collector Brian Hicks asked me to grab him the Original blades for himself. I ended up finding something better. A NIB 36" Chestnut Brown R&M Original! still in the plastic but a freaking destroyed box. In the bigger box where everything was, there were 2 full packages of blades and a set of 2 blades by themselves. I ended up buying 4 packages of Casablanca blades for 5 bucks each. The two I kept are posted down here. I also decided to take the world's creepiest light kit and put it on the Original. The fan makes the light kit look somewhat better but I know that it'll look 10 times better with an oversized globe or at least a regular sized globe Thats what I got for now!

LOVE the casas, especially the 44" metropolitan which is SO adorable. And I commend you for finding a 36" R&M original. They are not much of a rarity, but they are swell little fans.
