Questions About GE Quiet Blade Fan


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have recently come into possession of a 14 inch 1930s General Electric Quiet Blade Fan. I'm not sure how to exactly tell the year on one. It does have the motor tag on it though. Anyways, it's missing some parts, most notably the oil cups. I need to know if some 1/2 inch oil cups off of a GE Vortalex would fit, and if not, what oilers would fit this fan? I can't seem to find any for this fan specifically. It's also missing the speed coil, but I can get it working without one. It'd be nice to know where I can get one though. One last question, what should I use to polish the blades? Anything info helps

Could you send a picture of it, or say what the model number is?

Vortalex oil cups should fit it, I have a very similar fan that uses vortalex oil cups.

Many thanks. Your input is greatly appreciated.

BTW it’s a 12 inch model form AQ1 from 1934-1935

I used my trusty 49x929 as a point of reference, as it seems GE fans used the same motor for a while.

Ah, I stand corrected. I measured at the cage, so that's probably where I got 14 inches from. Thank you for correcting me, and thank you for getting a year for me
