Alex Koh Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I just picked up what I thought was a 40s Westinghouse standarad, but I noticed the fan had unusual traits for a standard series. This included the fan has a PSC motor, the model number wasn't one I reconised as being a standard series, and a unusual color for the original finish. The fans' body was painted over in black spraypaint and where it has chipped off it reveals a whiteish gray color. Its strange to me and I'd like to know more, any information would be appreciated.

Jeff Rusnak Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I think your fan is a Super Poweraire that the guard and blade were taken from an earlier Pacemaker Westinghouse.Super Poweraire’s we’re grey in color and had a handle on the motor and did have a capacitor in the base also they had a deeper pitched blade with a standard chrome guard with a small red/burgundy ring in the of the guard.Might be that the original blade and guard got damaged and was replaced with the blade and guard on the fan now ? Just my thoughts.Hope this helps !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Lindsey Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I just redid that exact fan. I knew the person that I got it from and I know the family owned it from new. Hope these pictures help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Shelstad Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 its real but the cage goes to a 1941 16-B-3, your 1830 is circa 1956-58 this is what your fan should look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Shelstad Posted Sunday at 06:49 AM Share Posted Sunday at 06:49 AM its hard to say, the parts are out there, its just weather or not anyone wants to give them up. i unfortunately only have a complete 16-b-3, so im no help. I'd personally go for making the 16-B-3 they are nice fans, mine is not pretty, but a good runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
