Sophie Braswell Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 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! 7 Quote
James Landry Posted July 30, 2023 Posted July 30, 2023 OUTSTANDING!!! Congratulations on finding your dream fan!!! None too oft do we ever get a chance acquire our desires. Just "gotta make it happen", sometimes... :) Quote
John Smalley Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 John here, lol congratulations you deserve it. Quote
Stan Adams Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 That fan is gorgeous! It was so great to see the two of you again, I’ve missed y’all so much! Quote
Steve Rockwell Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) 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..... Edited July 31, 2023 by Steve Rockwell 1 Quote
David Kilnapp Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 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. Quote
Jim Henderson Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 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? 1 Quote
Jim Kovar Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 Congrats on the acquistion of your dream fan, Sophie. How the magic works... 1 Quote
Paul Michael Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 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! 😉 Quote
David Kilnapp Posted August 1, 2023 Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited August 1, 2023 by David Kilnapp Quote
Steve Butler Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 Congratulations Sophie, definitely on most every collector’s bucket list. That’s a beauty. Quote
