Jeff Whitfield Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 Rob Schilz's collection is eclectic. Jim jokingly dubbed it the Rob Schilz Museum of Stuff. Rob owns a nice, early Westinghouse Tesla. The switch is a faithful reproduction made by Dave Dimitrion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 1 hour ago, Jeff Whitfield said: This Eck was en route to its new home upon the conclusion of Fanapalooza II Very nice fan meet! FWIW.....Eck and Diehl both were leaning on GE for an AC motor up until 12 to expand their fan motor line. Eck as in this example borrowed from both Diehl and GE. The only thing Eck about the fan is the badge and motor tag. 🙂 Both Diehl and Eck came out with their own AC motors same time in 13. Diehl brought out a whole new fan motor line 13, and Eck's first in house AC motor was on the oscillator only 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
