So I picked up another Delta II and a NIB Minka Aire Mesa. Nothing really special, but I think that I'mma paint this DII black and then the other one i got the other day, red. Immediately after I filmed the DII, i stripped it of the blades, light kit, and pull chains so I could use them for other projects So we have an insurance guy coming to the house to make sure everything is ok. that means I have to temporarily take down my testing rack and all my other good stuff that may be deemed unsafe. One of which was my Cali Zephyr (because I cut through the wires to wire up the IT switch. So i took it down and replaced it with something more practical, my Wailea. Safe to say it looks good and functions perfectly. there's a little bit of shift to the right or left when you reverse the fan. not too much of a problem, but its still weird to see. but it fits the room so well

Got a few more things While i was at a going away party for one of my friends, Mark Castrol txt me and told me about this Four Seasons that just popped up on craigslist. I left the party to get it and came back after I was done. Turns out that the seller lives in the same town I went to high school in, and that her son graduated two years before me. We talked fans for about 40 minutes and how she runs a renovation business. I got her number and she's gonna call me when she has more fans to replace. Unfortunately the flywheel died when I put one blade on. So now I gotta replace it. January 1989 Replaced the blades it came with with some light oak pointed tip baby blades. Rhode Island produced a NIB Panama XLP in snow white with medium oak blades. 4 speed. April 2013 I was surprised to see that they still used the old school board. Pretty cool Filmed my aunt's Supreme Mark IX fan thats in her old bedroom, now guest room. Im not sure what the exact model is but I been told that it was the Mark IX. Has a heater. if anyone has any info on it, please let me know I picked up a SQ Zephyr with FULL CANE blades. unfortunately the SQ was burned out. But i found a way to combat the broken SQ, by using a variable speed wall control for the fan and the light. The seller was very anal about his way to keep the fan balanced. he labeled for me where every screw should go, where every blade should go, blade arms too. so i followed his method, and he was right. but im pretty sure that if i just put the blades that have weights on them across from each other, i should be fine. Made a strange grinding noise but i think that means that the bearings need to be oiled. This is also the first fan i used with all the new wires i installed. September 1982 His original way of using the fan after the SQ burned out was using a OLD 4 speed casa control and a light dimmer with a weirdly shaped dial My other pickup is something that I was looking for for MONTHS. im so excited to have one. a Modern Fan Co Cirrus Hugger. Let me be the first to tell you, this thing is HEAVY. but the shape is so damn cool. and it looks so cool when its in motion. Now I want the 52" blades, which is pretty easy to get, but everything else that came with the fan is exactly what i like, with he dome light kit. i didnt know that it uses a regular 75 watt bulb, I thought it was halogen. but the blades are 42". It was sold with remote receiver, but no remote. So i just used a Leviton double slide control (with 3 speeds) like the one for the Zephyr. it FLIES. uses a K55 motor which is sooooo cool

Absolutely adorable! I love the white and oak blades! I feel like the four seasons would look nice with some frosted/opal shades on it.

Dude go for it lol. I wanna know. I know its only for temporary use but gimme that opinion Private message sent... Ok, SO, my grandmother has 6 siblings, five sisters and one brother (to my knowledge). One of her sisters met my "grandfather" wayyy back when like before i was even thought of or before my parents even met (again to my knowledge). They met and got married, had my mom's cousin (I call her aunt). I never had any grandfathers on either one of my parents sides. So, when I met him I considered him my grandfather cuz he acts like a grandfather and he might as well be lol That is certainly one unusual family tree! Thank you for sharing man
The plethora of beautiful fans in this thread is amazing. That Modern Fan Company Cirrus Hugger, Casablanca Zephyr with cane, your custom Four Seasons...all of them are absolutely gorgeous!

I remember that Panama from craigslist, glad someone got it! That Four Seasons looks fantastic with the bleached oak / K4S combo, 5 blades suits short housing Casa's much better than 4 in my opinion.
