Dave Hidding Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) As the old slogan says, Every house needs a Westinghouse. When my in-laws moved from their old antebellum home a few years ago, I swapped out their gyro for a modern fan (they were going to leave the gyro behind). It's been sitting in storage for several years, but I finally got around to having it restored to its original beauty. Many thanks to Carlton Ward for the inspiration, color codes, and confirming that the nickel blades would look fantastic (no, Carlton did not do the restoration). I couldn't be happier! I'm hoping it stays in the family for another 100 years. Several of the photos below are from when it was hanging in the antebellum home. The video shows it in its new home - our music room (click the play button, just below). gyro.mov Edited March 19, 2022 by Dave Hidding Video thumbnail isn't showing up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said there, I wish I had a high ceiling like you do to hang mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
