Mike Morris Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Saw this at a flea market today. I got all excited when I spotted the base and was hoping motor was correct and intact. Oh well, later ornate base, 21646 motor, 77648 blade? and a Signal cage and struts. Question is about the base, I'm thinking 12646 or 12648 and is switch correct for the base ? I have never had any ornate base Emersons and this is only the second one I have seen around here. Yeah, I bought it, mainly for the base and motor, for $25 I figured why not. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Ray Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Well worth the $25 just for a parts donor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Morris Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Those were exactly my thoughts. If I can't eventually find correct motor for the base, I have a good Emerson "big" motor that might look really good on that base. Still a frankenfan, but it would be a cool looking all Emerson frankenfan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Morris Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Any idea as to the identity of the switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sherwood Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 The switch is a GE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Morris Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) If I clean it up, do you think it will approach the magical Hunnert Thou number I've seen posted for other fans?😁 Edited September 11, 2022 by Mike Morris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Wendel Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Holy poop. That thing is a mess of parts. I'd buy it in a second for $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Graves Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I agree. I would have been on it like a bum on a bologna sammich ( that is how you spell it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Dunaway Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 If the wiring is intact enough not to be shorting out anywhere, I would sure like to know if / how well that GE switch runs the Emerson motor. The difference between the 12646 and 12648 should be in the length of the smooth segment of the neck just below the ball that holds the tilt, motor mount shaft, and the oscillator collar. That is a great Frankenfan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Morris Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 I won't be able to tell if the GE switch will run the Emerson motor. After checking the wiring etc, I found the stator has an open set of windings. After I pulled the stator, I found one break, but that apparently is not the only break. On another note, the smooth section of the neck is approximately 1 1/8 inches. I don't know if that makes it a XX646 or XX648. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
