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. It was up there for a while. I was hoping that it was gonna be CT but to no avail. and thank you! i really want to find a spot for it. its too cute not to put up

Picked up some more ish Went back down to the Cape to pick up this FREE.99 Delta II in PB with white blades from March 1988. The seller said she kept it in a box along with some other parts. What I found inside was: The Delta II (complete) A snow white K4 light kit One extra Casa side shade An extra painted Hang tru Two pairs of Casa Saturn rings (real glass. Once assembled and complete, one not) and a knockoff Saturn light kit complete I tried to test the light kit on the Delta II in the video. Would not work. Wasn't sure whats up but i will figure it out. Since the knockoff's rings were plastic-y, I just swapped them with real Saturn rings. Before i left the house, i asked the seller because I was so confused at all of the stuff in the box (figured there was a Saturn sitting around) and she said that whoever gave it to her had all these pieces in the box. She figured he was drunk when this handoff was made . As of now, the DII works fine, but the switch housing spins freely so it's gonna be either parts or another project when I get the chance About a week and a half after that, I met up with Mark Wilson again at my local Habitat because he had bought me some stuff from his meeting at Fanimation. He bought back with him (in trade to spiffy for my Friction drive i picked up) a Casa KG108-2 light kit, and given to me as a gift from Matt Braun, a polished copper Modern Fan Co. Industry (missing the hardware for the blades and the mounting bracket but im getting it from Chandrew when he sends out a light kit for me). While at the Habitat, we spotted two HB Graytons from June and August 1999. As a childhood want of mine, I just wanted one. I chose the one that's in better condition from August. Came complete and DOES NOT blow bad air. blades are just extremely thin. but i love the look of it and it took me back to when I first saw them in home depot and begged my parents for one. its SMC made. After that meet up, i got a call from a craigslist seller back in Providence, RI about a "gold casablanca fan with a 3 way switch" which turned out to be a gallery edition Zephyr from September 1987. i LOVE this fan. I think it looks beautiful and it came with the instruction book. it smells so vintage when i put it in my car lol. Sadly, the LDM in the board is burnt out so the lights stay on. no dimming. but all of the programs still work which is strange. I want to either swap boards or convert it to IT3 to make it last longer, which is what i think imma do FYI since i do a lot of backlogging when I post here, it's possible that I may have tested the fans on a different day, and since i use photobucket and it automatically sorts them by date, dont be confused when the installation pics are like 3 weeks later than when i posted the og post lol as soon as i get a new board, this will be installed somewhere I swear Gloss pointed tips...yes The KG108-2 I got from Spiffy 5 days ago after work, Mark Wilson called me and sent me a craigslist ad for this free LD, also from September 1987 that was free about 20 minutes from my job. Frantically, I text the seller and told her that I wanted to go get it after work but she said someone was already on it. Saddened, i was like ok. Then as soon as i got out of work she hit me back up and was like "yeah he didnt show. its sitting outside the house if you still want it. I swear i sped there cuz i didnt know if this guy was still coming or not. but i made it there and sho nuf, it was sitting there outside with a STILL INTACT K4B. It needs some paint and a new flywheel at some point. other than that it works perfectly. One blade has a huge crack going down but its not deep Hung up and tested the Grayton after the LD. Surprisingly, a post recall HangTru fits the ball that the Grayton is installed with. Pre recall barley fit but that's cuz the hole for the ball is larger Very vintage logo Maybe 2 or 3 days ago, I met up with a new collector named Ollie, who lives about 30 minutes south of my job. He's the brian hicks of the north east, all about originals. He told me he needed to start getting some unwated stuff out of his storage unit and he had a zephyr up for sale. I jumped on it and he drove to my job to deliver it to me. He said that it used to be SQ but the past owner (who turned out to be Chris Chandler) had taken out the SQ due it it burning out. So it's been converted to 3 speed. I threw on an AB light kit and Casa shades and it looks amazing. Very vintage. Fan came with the original box too. April 1982 Gave it some baby pullchains and an LCA cuz it looks like this would be perfect for a low ceiling I cracked it open to reveal a still intact SQ Heat Sink. Cool Last night, I finally got around to filming the pretzel blade Zephyr from Mark Welker. I was so afraid of blowing up fuses because of the absence of the LDM and using it on FLIK mode only. But i got it to work. Safe to say, this is probably the only Casa (or any fan for that matter besides the Emerson Loft I have) that will not have a light kit on it. It runs fine on FLIK mode and i think its one of the coolest things i've come in contact with. If the board dies and I have to update it, best believe it will be Single speed or IT3. more than likely single speed lol. It's from January 1985 I need some backing story on why there are zephyrs out there that came like this I installed the light kit from spiffy on the same Zephyr I got from him. So now i dub it, the Spiffy

If you wonder why some of the Zephyrs have pretzel brackets, refer to what Dan says in this thread ada19851985.proboards.com/thread/10281/new-find-6-9-2016

Brian do you have a youtube? I do, I have two channels, one is my normal channel, and I have a fans channel. I do not have any ceiling fan content yet. I sadly do not have the right equipment for recording this stuff at the moment.

That Zephyr is just perfect! Love it
I've always liked those early Graytons also.. Not bad looking either for something so cheap.. Are those the original chains? I like almost any Hampton Bay with that logo on the switch housing
That's a really cool picture of the pretzel iron Zephyr with the Delta? in the background..

Think of it like this. Casa introduced the Clairemont back in the 90's as a cheaper (aka spinner motor) alternative to the Victorian. its LITERALLY the St. Claire with a Hangtru and casa tags and pullchains. She could've gotten that one but it was cheaper for her to go HB (along with all the other fans in her house now lol). It's decent in performance but it does have a 4/5 blade motor which i like
