It's my ILGWIND 272 with its counter column, ill be making a post on it in for my first post, just doing some restoration and modification to add a 3 prong plug with a ground. It sparked when I took the motor cover off, the wiring on it was shot, levolier switch was jammed on high, capacitors were going weak, classic ILG dry bearings and it needed a lot of TLC. Took apart the entire fan apart, checked the windings, threw on some new bearings and everything seems to be sound now, very very quiet with some safety measures to prevent the fan from shorting itself out. I am a ILG guy as well haha. Edited January 14 by Pablo Del Valle Added information. Quote

I'd love to come, it would be my first meet, I do reside in the northern part of Houston so the meet will be very achievable. It would be fun to meet up! I'd love to check out your ilgs and meet the community. Edited January 14 by Pablo Del Valle 1 Quote
