Vic Valencheck Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 Bought this tab foot fan from a AFCA member. It's a stationary three speed with bb/bc. Circa 1910. I stripped it all down and then powder coated it. Not many features to talk about but it runs great in three distinct speeds It runs quiet and smooth with no vibration. 5 Quote
Gerry Meeks Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 Vic, that is a beautiful restoration. Do you do your own powder coating, or do you have it done by someone else? If outside work, is it expensive? Sure makes a nice finish. Also, did you rebuild the switch or buy a new one and install it? It looks new. If bought, where can I get one? Thanks for the photos. I will rebuild mine at some point and I may have more questions. Quote
Vic Valencheck Posted September 12, 2023 Author Posted September 12, 2023 Thanks Gerry, been doing my own powder coating for about a year now.To have someone do it for might cost around $80. I restored the switch that came with the fan. The thing that works well for me is Purple Power to clean the porcelain switch plates. Quote
