William Westmo Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I was searching through Nextdoor and found a listing on a another antique- $20 got me an (early 40s?) Hunter Century Type 16 with the cord cut. From what I have found these were not fancy in their day, but are tanks. I have temporarily replaced the cord with what I had lying around to test it, and it works great! All 3 speeds function and it turns on and off. Extremely smooth and a ton of airflow on max speed. A screw is missing on the oscillator and it does have some rust on the base, but I am very happy. Where are the lubrication points on this fan, and how common are they? S/N is M 682321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 They made a 10" model as well that I really liked. When they are properly lubricated, and the blade is in good balance, they run quiet and smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Your missing a shoulder screw to connect your linkage for oscillation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Landstrom Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) If ya wanna dress it up a bit I have a 16” Century brass blade. Minor dings but usable and ready (close) for polishing. Edited March 6 by John Landstrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting for almost 30 years and one cable later it immediately kicked over. I can barely hear the motor on all 3 speeds and it moves more air than any fan I have ever had as well. Very happy with it.
