Jandus C-Frame acquisition


Recommended Posts

Posted

A Jandus C-Frame is a fan I have longed for since I first saw one in person about 5 years ago.  Figured it would always be a dream and never a reality.  Well, that all changed at this year's Fan Fair.  I did not go to Fan Fair with the idea of buying ANY fan, let alone my dream fan.  After much consideration, I decided to take the plunge.  Thanks to Stephen Sanders for letting me be the next caretaker of this beautiful fan!

     All these recent Jandus threads have heightened my awareness of these fans, and your "new" fan has highlighted their merit and beauty.     BRAVA

                           good photos, by the way.....

Now you need to buy a cord minder for your Jandus from Louis Luu. He just made up a batch and you need one for the concave struts.

I don't see where you need a cord minder for this motor. The power cord enters directly under the motor.Why would you want to attach it to a strut?

Congratulations Sophie! These are mechanical mind- and eye- candy! A must have for a fan lover.

@David KilnappI have a C-frame with this same motor (it appears) that does not use a strut-mounted cord minder. It had a rigid brass clamp attached with a front motor housing screws adjacent one of the lower struts, and it wraps the cord at the strut and directs the loose part not fully 90º toward the back. I am sure it is original, but it appears Sophie's here does not have such a device. I have not taken it off, and don't plan to at this time...

Tiem for the 'experts' to weigh in! 😉

Hi Paul. I've seen that rigid brass clamp and I actually made one that attached to one of the front motor housing screws. After a time, I removed it because I didn't like the look of it. Louis Luu's reproduction clamp should do the trick nicely. I do agree that pushing the wire up to the strut with a strut mounted cord minder might not be the way to go but for $20 I'm willing to invest in the cord minder that Louis made. Plus I always want to support the fine craftsmen like Louis who are willing to do these sorts of things for the club.
