Wall Mount Roto Beam?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Picked up a couple of Roto Beams but they are not the typical desk or pedestal versions.  One is on a wall mount bracket and the other appears to be maybe a duct fan? Both have 10 inch ish blades. Anyone have anything similar?

I have seen the left one before somewhere, I think a collector friend of mine has one. Probably nowhere near as common as the standard ones. Amazing finds!

I don't think this is a factory mount. Mike Kearns has posted in depth Roto-Beam information and advertisements in past. He would know more than I, and may help to validate.

The logic: If it was a factory wall mount, check out the amount of trunnion rotation left or right. Or for that matter fan head pivot up or down.

I picked this one up in an Illinois auction years ago. So far to the best of my knowledge there is no Roto-Beam ephemera to support it being a factory put together. The trunnion appeared overextended to insert the guard screw downs.
