Ron May Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I finished up my tank today. Here's some pics of the restoration.before...I made new bearings for it, decided to improve on the 2 piece rear bearing and make it a 1 piece.Made a new set of wings. I rewound both the stator and speed coil. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kilnapp Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Words fail me Ron. Your craftsmanship is "next level" stuff. I'd love to be your student...the things I could learn from you. There are very few individuals who can do what you do. WOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Dunaway Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 That is soooo sweet, I'd hate to ever run it for fear of getting it dirty as a room air filter. Daily runners can get nasty. That fan is almost too good lookin' for words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron May Posted February 12, 2023 Author Share Posted February 12, 2023 Thanks for all the kind remarks, I certainly appreciate it. Steven, I don't keep track of the hours, I'm sure it would be depressing to see how long it takes for my to finish a fan. Geoff, I'll definitely be running it this summer, it's more enjoyable to see them running rather than looking at them on a shelf. If it gets nasty I know a guy 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'll tell myself. 20230212_114214.mp4 Edited February 12, 2023 by Trevor Andersen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
