R&M Tank restoration finished

[Ron May]

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.

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! 

[Tony Clayton]

Beautiful 😍 work as always Ron. Never a disappointment from your skilled hands ever.

[Michael Rathberger]

Amazing job! Fan looks gorgeous. 

[Steven P Dempsey]

Wow, how many man hours would you guess? Totally worth it!

[Geoff Dunaway]

  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

[Ron May]

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 😃

[Tristan Crider]

Excellent, much better than new.

That's why I don't do as perfect of a job so I will use them. Yes. That's what I'll tell myself.
