Any info on this fan? Westinghouse 13814C4?

I picked this up for $40 this weekend. Hoping it was a decent deal. The motor works but the fan isn’t spinning so I plan to do some work on it but cannot find any info. Do any of you know anything about this fan in regards to where I can find a manual or wiring diagram? It looks like it’s a Westinghouse style no. 13814C4 but it’s hard to read (pic attached). Any advice is appreciated. I’m new to restoring fans, but have always had interest in them.

$40 is a bit high for this fan in this shape. These are good fans, but I would only give about $15 for it. They are not too bad to work on. But the clam shell motor head. is a bit of a pain. Very simple wiring, some have a capacitor in them and it can be replaced with a new one. I don't know if anyone makes a repop for the label bar. Its a thin aluminum label. There are 4 screws on the bottom of the head and then 2 plates and springs that hold the bearings in place. The cage comes off after the head is apart and. you have to bend just a bit to get it out. The one thing I have found on these that can go out is the oscillating gear. Its nylon or some type of plastic.

Brandon, if U R interested in fans , U should make it a point to watch for details about a regional fan meet held in early October on the shores of Lake Houston. That event, at the home of Stan & JeriAnn Adams would definitely feed your interest and give you a lot of information from seasoned collectors. It's too close to miss out on.

The 23rd annual Lake Houston Fan Meet will be October 4-5. Hopefully no more hurricanes between now & then. Hope to see you at the lake! Its always Great!
