Verity's Zephyr #7, the "Silver Bullet"

[Bill Dunlap]

Werewolves got you down? Vampires sucking the life out of you? What you need is a "Silver Bullet" and blow your problems away.

Presenting the Silver Bullet orbiting fan. This one was in pretty good shape both electrically and mechanically. The back motor housing cast from zinc was deteriorating somewhat, but I saved it and it looks pretty good. The Oilite bearings I install means that these are now mostly maintenance free. Just clean it and replace brushes every so often and it should run for years. Oh, a drop of oil in the gearbox from time to time is not a bad idea. So, only three to go. The next couple will have a decided insectoid theme to them. There's the JuneBug, and then the Bumblebee. I promise no black stripes....

Cheers,

Bill
