Louis Luu Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 An obvious miscommunication. Next time, just PM someone on the forum if seeking information or just post a picture....look at this lovely fan? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Rathberger Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 No one wants that thing. It's a manual start, too much work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the power goes out with it running, and later comes back on with no one there to give it a spin, the motor windings go up in smoke. I think it is a 24-26 Wagner, not 100%, but almost certain. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Rathberger Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 See probably doesn't even run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Probably got so hot at one time, it not only cooked the windings, it weakened the pot metal housing. H ell of a risk if you ask me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also pointed out just a spin knob to start it?? They must have been on a tight budget as I see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butler Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Since the cat is already out of the bag and running wild, here’s a photo of the bottom of the fan in question. Hopefully whoever gets it will post better photos or a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Peters Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) How about someone identifying this rarity? At this point in time, it would make little difference in its price. Edited July 16, 2022 by Thomas Peters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct pronunciation of Wagner in German would would sound like .....Vaagner. Hitler was a fanatic of the composer Richard Wagner. Back to the subject, I stated I wasn't 100% about Vaagner/Wagner. Fact Jack. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
