I got this in an estate auction. And, Daniel O’Toole, a good fan dude, did me a solid and picked it up and mailed it to me. Big thanks to Dan! I replaced the head wire and power cord. I only had to fabricate one piece, the insulating washer on the inside of the motor case that the centrifugal start sits on. I just took a heavy piece plastic sheet cut it to size and painted it with insulating varnish. Other than that just some elbow grease, lube, and a good cleaning inside and out. It’s all original. I’m considering polishing the brass but the patina looks good to me and I’ll just leave it as is for now. There is only a slight difference in the 2 speeds. I’ve been running it on a Variac at 104 volts. The base has some paint loss but I don’t mind a little bit of rust. I think it gives it character. IMG_3264.MOV

So, as useful as I find the old forum, a lot of the information is scattered and fragmented among many different posts. In the interest of consolidating info, I'm hoping to post all my questions about this fan in the same thread. Hopefully it will be a useful resource to someone other than myself down the road. That said, initial questions: -what was the original cord from motor to switch, and switch to plug? Was it black overbraid? -my readings for the motor are 23.4 ohms. Proper readings? -between high and low on the choke is 1.3 ohms. Correct? If you have this fan in original condition, please share photos. Thanks everyone...

This 11666 sold earlier this month at an online auction. I hope a card-carrying AFCA'er is the new owner and will restore the decrepit old gal to her former graces.
