All I had to do to it was clean the paint, new grease and oil and put new wiring on. What a cool fan! The best of luck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a bulletproof shaded pole motor that still runs pretty cool, spiral groove single bearing lubrication system ensuring lubrication at extreme up/down pivots, tight tolerances and solid materials. How does the 79 series compare to an earlier 73? Is it a different motor because I know both use the same single bearing system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blade shape is also quite different. Edited February 17 by Derek Warnecke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
