Ken McClead Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I won this fan at an online auction, I will be picking it up this Saturday. When I get it home I will post more detailed pictures. I will help with getting it in good running condition. Here is a link to the auction page: https://texas.hibid.com/lot/130444190/emerson-fan?ref=catalog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Adams Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Great fan Ken! I have bought two of those, Matt O'Neal has one of them. Super quiet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) You have a VERY nice example that started production in 1931. You have the sweet 6 pole motor with a top end of roughly 1150 RPM, and 2 more lower speeds perfect for bedtime. The finish on that fan looks like you could make it come alive with some cleaning, polish, and buff. Enjoy your toy. The more common 4 pole 12" models of that time period (29646/73646) on full current cooked at roughly 1550 RPM. Even the lowest speed setting on the 4 pole models couldn't get slow enough to match your sweet 1150 RPM high speed.

Mel Lagarde Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Ken You found a dandy of a fan for your collection and, as Russ states, there is nothing better than a six wing six pole fan for a good daily runner. Congratulations. Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Ray Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 You outbid me on that one! Congrats! You got a very nice looking fan! Glad it went to a fellow member. Looks like that fan will clean up pretty well. I did a post a while back on paint preservation. Give it a read as that fan looked like it retained a good amount of the factory finish. Lots of knowledge in this community on helping you with your Emerson. They are a joy to work on and a bigger joy to run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Morel Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I've moved mine to bedside duty. Nice and quiet with great airflow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Campbell Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Emerson six wingers are some of the best runner fans ever made. You did good! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken McClead Posted August 28, 2022 Author Share Posted August 28, 2022 I got the fan home yesterday and began an electrical overview of it today. One of the head wires was broken at the motor side and was sticking out of the motor with bare wire strands showing. Also, the cord was spliced as some point with a newer cord. I removed the stator and speed switch/choke coil assemblies from the fan and took pictures of both parts. Is there certain resistance measurements I should be getting for the stator? Thanks to everyone that made the disassembly process painless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Ray Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Take readings on your 3 pairs of head wires. If you add the lowest two readings, should equal the highest reading. Follow the following diagram and that will tell you how to wire it to the switch assembly (follow the top diagram for the 29646 as your 71666 is the same). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read 22.1 ohms on B to C, 35.8 ohms on A to B, and 57.5 ohms on A to C. Do these values seem good? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
