It’s funny! It seems you collect paint like I do.  I recently bought these exact same 3 colors to have on hand. There are a lot of colors out there now that are close to the OEM fan colors.

6+ weeks since I started this thread and the tank still isn't finished. Still have to cut and polish the paint, polish some brass and put it together.

Should be finished next week!

Today's project was a golden olde request by Steven Dempsey. This one for you Steven. R&M purple passion.

Original wire from R&M fan pictured far right provided by Steven.

The round and TOB are clones.

I recently got a few very pristine Original R&Ms, they had purple Head wires & Power cords, overbraid & rubber insulation on each wire

Finally have some more stuff to work on today,however,  not much to do other than cleaning..DC ECK oscillator and a 10" Dr. Max Levy

Eck is fully functional has a repair in neck that needs to be addressed and tightened

I haven't had an opportunity to look for an fans in the last several months.  Hopefully, I will renew my search a week or two.  So, in the mean time, I have been trying to stay busy working on some old lighting projects.  Now that I have nearly finished a set of 3, four foot theater lights (first picture), I am turning my attention to another group of 4 foot fluorescent lights I got about 10 years ago.  They have all been disassembled and I am ready to begin their transformation back into working lights.  This might take a while.

Back onto the bench is the 14648.  All wired up and runs great! Just gotta polish the cage and struts and this one will be all done! No added paint here. Buffed back to life the original Emerson-applied finish.

I was tasked to clone a wire I had not seen before. Given permission to give my own interpretation. Made a slight variation on the original and kept the tracers in the brown family vs very off white of the original.

[Patrick Ray]

Masterful work Tony!
