David Welch Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Is there a remote control to actuate an old ceiling fan? Can you run variable speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Adams Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I would not use a modern remote, but you can use a variable speed made for ceiling fans. Andrew Block has some that work quite well. You might check with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hoatson Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I have found that a 5 amp KB works well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Ray Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I'll second Dave's suggestion for the KB controller. I've got 2 antique ceiling fans running on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Welch Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 So I guess the speed coil is not needed then. Does the variable controller go very slow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody ripped out one of the wiresgoing to the stator. Without the speed coil where do I hook up the incoming wire to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Adams Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Not really possible to tell in your pic. Maybe zoom in a little where the one wire comes out. Obviously there should be two wires going to the stator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
