Russ Huber Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 My "bet" is they cast that base in the last season of 12. No proof so far to validate. The Feather vane shared the market with the mechanical 1153 oscillator it appears 11 and 12. The Feather vane was known as the Model 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reconstruction of that fan would require skilled labor, patience, and thinning the wallet. Now if you were the skilled labor doing the restoration, it would be easier on the wallet.

When I mentioned skilled labor, I was referring to an individual who can reproduce your needed parts. If you could reproduce your own missing parts, it would save you chunky money over hiring someone who can restore (reproduce the parts) for you. The bottom line is you can enjoy the fan as is in your collection, you can maybe hire someone skilled to restore the fan (reproduce missing parts) back to its near original state for hundreds of dollars, or you can sell it to an interested buyer with the restoration skill or deep pockets.

Arjun Saini Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Anyone know about wiring this things? The first time this was powered up the owner had to hold the main headwire by hand to get it going. I want to disassemble the fan so I can fix the centrifugal start switch. Won’t get off the start winding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Take your blade off the shaft. Unthread both of your oil cups. Hold your fan upside down firmly (don't drop it) resting the C-frame on a workbench. With your free hand spray WD-40 down into the bearings on both ends and then turn the shaft with your fingers of your free hand. This will let the WD-40 work its way into the bearing surfaces to break down the old, varnished oil on the surface of the shaft and bearing. Set the fan back up right on the bench, give it a while for the WD-40 to do its magic. Try firing it up without the blade on to see if it gains enough speed to lift of the centrifugal switch contacts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Michael Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Thanks Russ I don't have pics for Arjun. Arjun, as you see: The smaller shaft goes through to the back oscillator 'activator' mechanic, so likely, that is entirely missing yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) If your blade spins CCW, which it does, what direction would the blade need to thread on to the shaft to stay tight on the shaft?

Spinning one direction should make the blade go TOWARD the motor housing, the other direction AWAY from the motor housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
