Dan Nguyen Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Appeared in Vietnam. The seller said that it is 100% original. Some say it's a Frankenfan, made of Diehl sewing machine parts, and a 50's fan. I want to know what people think? sewing machine fan.mp4 Edited June 4, 2022 by Dan Nguyen 1 Quote
Thomas Peters Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 Do not believe this complete assembly will be found in any Diego catalog. Parts of it might be though. Quote
Michael Rathberger Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 I think the blade cage pulley struts and shaft housing are right and correct. They did make a belt operated fan but not sure it was ever foot operated, I thought motored. That's the part that may be home made. Quote
Kim Frank Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 We have something similar to that in the museum. I'll get pics next week. Quote
Jim Kovar Posted June 5, 2022 Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Hi, Dan..What first caught my eyewas the beautiful ornatecast iron. Love it! Then,... upon closerinspection of the pictures,I noticed the die castaluminum pulley. The ejector pin marks,which I circled, are tell-talesigns of die castings.Ornate cast iron, machinedand knurled oilers, brassriveted blades, and wrappedbrass wire cages all are laborintensive and expensive,...in comparison to a die castaluminum pulley.Incongruity?, IDK.

Dan Nguyen Posted June 5, 2022 Author Posted June 5, 2022 Thank you very much! I have received a lot of useful information from your comments! After posting this post, there have been at least 3 machine tripods made in cast iron and brass was advertised for sale here in Vietnam at a rather high price. It seems that many people in Vietnam interest with this pedal fan model. Dan Nguyen Quote
