The Victorian is nice, but those cane Panamas! Those are gorgeous yo!
The white Panama I'd prefer sans light..
I quite like the Hampton Bay Gazebo also.. How's its performance? I know I love the Victorian man. I want to figure out how to use the variable speed control I have for it though. Like use the low end trim. Someone said to use a eyeglass screwdriver that's super small. And yeah the cane blades are A1. I love em The white Panama was looking cool all clean and white but yeah it looks better without the light, but I'd rather have a light on a fan with a light control button. That's just my thing. All my fans have to have a light kit unless said otherwise The Gazebo has pretty good performance. Plastic blades and standard HB quality. It's just pretty to look at for me. Spin down time took FOREVER though. Couldn't tell if it was because the blade arms were too loose or if it was something else.

Both the Victorian and the Panamas would look great with a nice slow low to them..
Are the plastic blades heavier than typical MDF blades? That would be the only reason I'd think of for longer spin-down,, I don't think the blade iron tightness would have affect on it..

So i did what i thought i wasnt able to do and i bent back the one blade arm that was giving me the most trouble with this Lady Delta. she's now up and running. Still has a wobbling problem, but i cut out a large chunk of the problem itself

So yesterday, God was deff looking out for me. I found this free Hunter Original in Westwood, MA (15 minutes from my job). immediately i jumped on it and went to go get it. this is my dream Original: White, 52" 4/5 blade, 3 speed and reversible. Came with the sloped adapter canopy with the u bracket and Hunter mounting bracket. When I got home, I added a single globe to recreate one of my favorite childhood Originals i see in Martha's Vineyard every year here's where i messed up I was not aware that the U bracket's holes don't reach the standard fan box lengths. therefor, i was not able to use the fan on my testing rack. So what did i do? use the J hook. I hooked it up to power and all that and everything works. Then i hit reverse and the torque was powerful enough to unscrew the J hook and the fan fell, killing two blades. But Im ok, and the fan is amazing shape seeing as how it fell on a rug lol. So im currently on a hunt to replace all 5 blades. the slope adapter also had a crack in the plastic portion, but Im not sure if that was there before i got the fan or not. so if anyone had replacement blades they're willing to let go of, please let me know!

How funny! I have the exact same delta 1, only I don't have 8 of the blade screws and a crossbar or screws for the Hang tru either, Bummer. As well, the bearings sound bad. But i took it anyways considering how RARE they are in such a remodeled area of town.

Yup, a Hunter Original definitely possesses the torque necessary to take a J-hook right out of the ceiling! You coming out unscathed is what is most important. As per usual, the Casablancas are beautiful

That's really crappy the Original fell,, it sure was a beauty! Right down to the light,, just how I like it.. Hope you can get a new set of blades up soon.. Too bad the fall wasn't on video.. Since everything turned out alright,, that probably would have been a humorous video..
I like the Panama,, but I'd much prefer it with the white blades..
Ventura and the Delta are both really nice.. I like the clean appearance they have..
Zephyr and Victorian are beauties,, but the light isn't doing it for me on the Zephyr.. Its too flat and close to the fan..

I think Hunter spaced the holes closer together than the screws would be on a box on purpose.

I chose my words bad lol
