Lake Worth Habitat 12-10-2015

[Adam D.]

This new Habitat is starting to get really good.. I'm not sure what this is.. Jet King, Fan King? It's got a thicker motor housing than the Brass and white one I have.. What ever it is, it's got a mangled flywheel, and it's got two pulls on the switch housing like Canadian fans.. I've seen one like this before dated 1987 with two pulls, can't remember if it was a thick or thinner motor housing.. Video to come of the Habitat

You'd make some good money buying and re-selling them.

I'm surprised they're selling that with the flywheel in the condition it is

I've thought of that, and I should.. I'm just too lazy to find boxes and packing material.. I really don't collect them seeing how they far too common around here..

By comparison, originals are about the only thing I actually pick up anymore. If that one had it's canopy I'd probably send Skylar for it. Let me know when you see all brass ones. If they are mint I'll pay up to $150 and I send a box. Depends on how complete they are.

[Adam D.]

I'll keep an eye out.. I do see all brass ones periodically.. Last time was about 4 months ago when Mat got one from the Delray habitat, there was another one that has a blade that missing from the ReversAire bracket, and ended up leaving that one behind.. If I only got Originals like you.. Over the years I'd probably have about as many of them as the overloaded fan collection I have now..

[Adam D.]

Over a week later.. Hunter Original is gone, and most of the other stuff is too.. But I did go back and get the Fan/Jet King the following two days after the last video.. I just haven't posted pics yet. I need to get an AB canopy, and fix the flywheel or get a replacement.. There is a Hunter LP and a TAT flush mount with the long blade brackets there now..

That is a kenroy made by fanking. Daniel has 2 of 'em posted on his YouTube account.

Here are the pictures.. The flywheel is broken from within on one side.. A piece of metal the screws screw into is broke on two sides causing the flywheel to fold, and the rubber is cracked.. Unlike the other fan I have similar to this, the flywheel is very stiff.. It's not flimsy like my other one, and of course the motor house is thicker on this one too.. It still looks different than Daniels The motor housing and switch housing is the same as his Golf Coast Naples. but the blades are the same as his Kenroys, and note it has two pull switches on mine.. This could be any label.. I packed some epoxy into the flywheel and see if that fixes it.. But I do believe this is the flywheel here: www.ceilingfanpartsonline.com/flywheels-p3.html

I may take it to Dans Fans because they do have flywheels and I may be able to get a perfect match seeing how this is somewhat related to Gulf Coast

[fancollector12]

Yes you should go to Dans Fan City. They will repair it even if it is not a Gulf Coast... the one in St. Petersburg repaired Casas if I am not mis-taken.

Gulf coast fans at the time this was made used GE motors, and I think some of the late 80s-early 90s Gulf Coast models were manufactured by kenroy. No wonder the 56" Naples that Daniel has looks like it has the same motor housing.

[Adam D.]

The ones with the thicker motor housing like this one, and a few of Daniels I think are older, like from around 1983-85, and all the ones made from 1986 and up are thinner... The later models, the flywheels surpass the bottom of the motor housing being more exposed, and the flywheel is more flimsy.. Most of the time I come across these, they tend to be in a color combination that includes white and are the 1987 models..

[Adam D.]

Well looky what I found.. By just cracking open the motor housing.. It's a North American Fan Company..
