Bobby Gaines Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Found this little guy a while back, No blade , no cage and no power cord. I fingered if was a lost cause but when I took it apart the armature looked great and the brushes like new. So I went to work on it. When I got it running the rotation was CC so I started looking blade for CC rotation then I realized that the rotation could be switched by rotating the brush contacts. Added a brass toggle switch on the back and cut a GE blade down to 6". Then made a little brass cage for it. I did put a 1/2 wave dido in the base to slow it down some . IMG_0758.MOV 7 1 Quote
Malcolm MacGregor Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Amazing looking fan, congratulations! Quote
Lane Shirey Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Original blade and cage would have been nickel plated. Quote
Bill Dunlap Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 Nice. If you score another one of these, I've got the parts to repair these, like armature and field coils. Quote

Bobby Gaines Posted March 6, 2023 Author Posted March 6, 2023 Thank all you guys for the nice comments. Sometimes I find these little fans all trashed out and even though they are not worth much I the need to bring them back some of their glory. Quote
