Hello fan collectors, fan enthusiasts, and other fanatics! I recently picked up a Casablanca Delta II from a local store. It is pretty cool, because it has a three speed click knob for the fan, and another knob for the light. I am not sure on the exact year, any guesses? It was mostly complete, except for the HangTru mounting plate, I am not sure of the technical term for it. Where could I buy one? The store said they lost it, and we looked everywhere. Thanks for the help! Attachment Deleted

Welcome to the site! You can contact Casablanca for the mounting bracket or just use a standard canopy and mounting bracket. If you post a picture of the tag we can tell exactly the date it was made. I would say late 1980s, early 1990s. The click knobs are not original, the fan would have come with pull chains.

The serial number is FT27708, and the "CB" is 14062 Attachment Deleted

June, 1985. The control knob is actually original, as they were using it on this model for only that specific year.

The light kit was added on.

Yes, June 27th, 1985, and your fan was the 708th fan made on that day. 1985 was when Casablanca was switching a lot of their fans to Intellitouch, which used a separate wall control to control the fan. Before Intellitouch (Casablanca still uses it today, and has since 1983-84) a lot of Casablanca fans used the Slumber Quiet system with a variable speed control knob. All of the new fans that Casablanca brought out until the 90s were only Intellitouch or ComfortTouch, which was the remote control version of Intellitouch (Casablanca no longer uses Slumber Quiet, Slumber Three: what you have, or ComfortTouch).

The light kit might actually have been packaged with it. This version of the K4S seems to have often been included on some Gallery edition fans of the era, so I wouldn't really discount anything from being possible. Nothing is impossible with Casablanca, really.
You're completely neglecting Slumber 5, Vincent.

I think you are right, I remember going to another HFH ReStore, and seeing one just like that one, with the dual knobs, and the exact same finish. The down rod was a bit shorter though. It doesn't seem like Casablanca quality however, one of the light sockets snapped off, and part of the brass has turned into a copper color. The previous owners could have simply been rough with it.

Nope, that sounds about right lol. Casablanca light kits, and those in particular, are rather fragile little things. Also, the lacquer they were using on their polished brass around that time was absolute crap. It clouded up like nobody's business and even seems to have disintegrated completely in some cases. I have a Cambridge Gallery Edition where the same style light kit looks just as cloudy as, if not worse, than yours, and the top plate has turned into a dull copper as you describe.

Oh ok, thanks for the help. We are trying to restore and fix the light kit, so we can install it somewhere.
