Michael Rathberger Posted August 26, 2023 Posted August 26, 2023 There is/was one for sale not long ago search bst... Quote
Dave McManaman Posted August 26, 2023 Posted August 26, 2023 Kim had a one speed up that he’d gone through. It’s sold. Was asking $1,850. Thought that was a good deal, unrestored but gone through and all there. Post is in the sale/trade section if you want to look. Quote

Kim Frank Posted August 26, 2023 Posted August 26, 2023 Just my opinion......One speeds in complete and working condition go around $2000. Three speeds, dc one speeds, and brushed motor ac one speed coins over $3000 in complete and working condition. Lately I've sold a lot of coin ops that I've had laying around in boxes for years. I've sold them for less that conventional prices because I don't need to get rich off collectors and try to give everyone a good deal. It seems a restoration doesn't add value, but it also doesn't diminish it either. 2 Quote

There a few important things to check; they've been discussed on all platforms multiple times, if SEATCH worked you couldd probably pull them right up 😬 Also, in the case of an intentionally deceptive seller who understands these fans, or just some odd quirk in a fans' life combined with your real 'bad' luck, the nut at 0500 on the motor front could be present, BUT the internal gears/rocker actually NOT present.... You also MUST look up above switch to verify those parts. 1 Quote
Chris Jacobsen Posted August 26, 2023 Posted August 26, 2023 Very good advice here. Not good to buy blindly, however there is also the side where rare parts may be useful or fund your next project. 1 Quote
Kim Frank Posted August 27, 2023 Posted August 27, 2023 Usually if a coin op has the 3/8th nut by the front bearing housing, the nickel knob in the rear, and you can see the counter in the coin vault, the fan is complete, with exception of bank door. Figure the timing gear is stripped, stator needs new taps, and the bank door with lock and key. The fan needs to be completely disassembled, inspected and cleaned, and relubed and reassembled. If this is all that needs to be done, you're looking at about a $400 bill. 1 Quote
