Tom Zapf Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I WONDER IF THEY ARE ACTUALLY NEW ALSO..HOW MANY VINTAGE UNITS CAN YOU FIND LIKE THAT AND THEY MATCH? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Daugird Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Maybe custom built for them. I have looked at my belt drive "whole house fans" that I have made into box fans for the shop, seems to me a few pillow block bearings, shaft, pulleys and sheetmetal, wouldn't be hard to fabricate one. The "venturi" would be difficult without special tooling. Edited January 13 by Richard Daugird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Kovar Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Well, that does it! It's settled,...let's all meet at El Camino in Fort Lauderdale for a fan inspection and maybe beer or two. Everyone knows the way, right? You're buying. Edited January 14 by Jim Kovar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
