Christopher Harding Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 I recently acquired this beauty from my good friend Al Schaefer. It is immaculate, of course. I don’t think it has ever seen much use. I did open the motor so that I could properly oil it. It runs smoothly and quietly. This fan was the ultimate model for its time and even has the “infinite” speed control. I may change out the wheels because I don’t believe they are the originals but that’s not a big deal. Such a great fan! 2 Quote
Tom Zapf Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 I HAD ONE OF THOSE STANDS CHRIS...THE WHEELS WERE ACTUALLY NYLON BALLS ON MINE, LIKE THE COLOR OF VASELINE . MINE HAD A DIFFERENT FAN ON IT ... A REGULAR 3 SPEED 1 Quote

Michael Rathberger Posted September 20, 2023 Posted September 20, 2023 My Mom bought one of those. Hers had 6 blades if I remember, maybe a little different. She'd run that every night in her bedroom window in Beverly, 9700 S Seeley, Chicago, during the summer. She had the coldest room in the house, ran it all night. Quote

Michael Rathberger Posted September 24, 2023 Posted September 24, 2023 Same roof. Different landscaping. Lot of memories there, I still have my Dad's Servi-cycle, I road that thing all over one summer. 13 years old. Taught myself to drive stick at 15 in his 65 F150, straight six, 3 on the tree. Back when everything wasn't so serious, never even thought about a helmet on the bike... Quote

I rode without a helmet for most part in the 80s when you were supposed to know better. I rode the bike once non-stop except for fuel from home to Chamberlain, SD with no helmet and goggles on a sunny day. My head looked like a beet with two white patches when I checked in to the motel.
