Got this Venus from Matt Ray forever and a day ago. Been waiting on the Hang-Tru for it (he's got it but couldn't find it originally when he sent the fan), but recently got eager to put it up. It's not in mint condition or anything, but I think black fans camouflage minor finish issues well so it honestly looks pretty great once installed. It's Gallery Edition, IT, no Halo for those interested in those details.

Wow very nice Venus! I really really really want one. I had one shipped in the mail and had it get lost. Got a refund though. I seem to have bad luck with these fans... none have popped up locally either!

Got this Gillespie from Chris C. Had to replace the flywheel, and the blades that came with it need work so I threw on this spare set I had. Works just fine, might have to replace the bearings eventually but it's not pressing enough that I felt it needed to be done immediately. Video live here: youtu.be/azWvHepQIF8

Nice, never really been fan of wood blades on white fans other than either light maple or 'white washed' or 'wreathed' that had sort of light gray wood grain.

Sure, all the haters show up here. Deal with it lol, I like dark blades on a white fan. Not sure of the year offhand, Farah. Mid-90s probably.

I think the dark blades look good, but lighter color blades would look nice too. I LOVE GILLESPIES

I cant stand light blades (washed oak, whatever) on a white fan. Dark wood or white blades. That's the way antiques were.
