Thanks Stan. Still Learning about using the multimeter in fans…at least how to check stator. How would I check the switch? Yea it goes off hi low hi. Nice to know it’s Proabbly not harmful!

I'll help too if I can. I just tried and I can access the old forum again, but not log in.

Anyone from Louisiana that can help Ken?

& this one on it's way.

Looks like 3 leads in head-wire

Did not plan this, but looks like the beginnings of a GE collection! And I have a brass bell AOU coming.

I’m sorry to hear of your loss. I’m rather new here and am not familiar with Ronald, but it seems the fan family has lost a revered member as well. Say a prayer for you and Ronald.

Kinda looks like a westy motor

Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

What is this?

I do recall that off/arrow switch on a late 20's- early 30's Westinghouse fan we had 50+ years ago. That was definitely original.

There would be a thin brass washer that fits over the brass slotted keeper shoulder slightly larger outside diameter than the brass slotted keeper. The needed fiber washers behind the washer for rotor end play. Go Bobby, go! 🙂

When I got this fan it not have any washers on the blade end just the keeper nut. I need to know what goes there, I put some washers behind the nut (just a guess)

Odd. Mine is the late pit metal one and I’ve only seen ones with steel cages

Good solid 34017 fan... but with profile struts, -- side attached, those swivel screws, SMY and that serial number, you'll want to revise its age four, perhaps five years later.....

Rare indeed! One of none.

Fantastic Louis!

how about this pancake https://onslow.craigslist.org/atq/d/midway-park-rare-1922-emerson-pancake/7670153325.html

I just saw a SUPER RARE little 'GE pancake' AND and 'EMERSON Pancake on ePay too.. Somehow 'pancake' is *THE* current buzzword for clueless fan sellers! 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🙀

I'm planning to make the drive down from Tennessee. However many miles that is. 😅

I have an S-1 with brass cage, a non-oscillator, but also had an oscillating S-1. Almost no pot metal on the stationary but the oscillator does have some of the dreaded metal but not that much.

Friends the Lake Houston meet is getting close, if you haven’t done so & plan to eat lunch Saturday, please RSVP by Wednesday so I can let the caterer know. Big group expected, at 43 currently.
