Allen Bennett Posted April 10, 2023 Author Posted April 10, 2023 Thanks Russ! A son just buried his 92 yr old father and found the fan he remembered as a kid. He’s asked me to refurbish it so he can enjoy it in his home as a reminder of his dad and his youth. 1 Quote

With some patience you may find an IDENTICAL model in much better condition on the web for under a $50.00 bill. I myself like the styling of that model. Quote
Allen Bennett Posted April 10, 2023 Author Posted April 10, 2023 Since it’s a sentimental piece and not a high $$ collectible, I’ll just try to refurbish it to good condition. Luckily, the fan runs and the oscillator gearbox is in good condition. I think the chrome will polish up nicely, but I’m not having much luck finding a rattle can of brown wrinkle finish paint. My next option was a bronze hammered look paint. If I’m remembering correctly, it’d be really nice if Chris Campbell could create a decal for the badge. Quote
Regan Hall Posted April 16, 2023 Posted April 16, 2023 Allen, I restored an Arctic Wire P121 which also had green crinkle paint which I could not find. I used black crinkle paint and after it cured then I lightly over sprayed with green...Voila! Give it a try Regan Quote
