Bobby Gaines Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Just finished a few days ago. Bought this little guy from a member, it was in good shape except for two S wires (1/16) missing and a few dents in the brass. Removed the dents, fabricated and replaced the S wires, installed new internal head wire. Fabed a base plate w/ rubber feet then polished it up and lacquered it. 1680654442_12Video.MOV 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Gaines Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 Thanks for the nice comments. That little fan was fun to work on. I was told that fan was dated 1913, correct me if it’s not . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Gaines Posted April 16, 2023 Author Share Posted April 16, 2023 The previous owner and I both thought the motor cover was brass plated because a magnet would stick to it. With further inspection I realized the the was attracted by coil laminates. Nice surprise for the Brass Hounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 In 1909 Diehl introduced a NEW 8" fan to replace their 9" model. What is not clarified to date is what was that 8" model? (no electrical trade images I am aware of to date) The first electrical trade images of the all brass 8" Diehl are seen in 1912. Eck rebadged the 8" Diehl all brass to add to their residence fan motor line. Eck also eventually rebadged the Dayton 8" as theirs. It would appear the Diehl 8" all brass "may" have been introduced as early as 1909. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Cunningham Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 If memory serves me, they had two models. One had a zinc alloy, brass plated center section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
