New color for a $5 dollar vornado fan

[Tim Babcock]

I bought this at a picking on a highway that comes once a year where there are gatherings of garage sales. I bought it for $5. I figured it was worth more than that for parts. I decided to use the Rust oleum  iridescent green. Depending on which way you look at it its a bit red or green. I had the exact fan as a parts fan and needed a few parts off it. But after sand blasting it and painting it, I got some flat two wire green cord for it. Runs good on all speeds.

I bought this little Westinghouse Ball fan from Lawrence at Doc's fan meet. It was a quick little project. The fan just caught my eye. The paint is a new type. Its a black lacquer base coat with a metal flake confetti over coat.

It must put on a light show when it’s running.

WOW!

Now all I need is some Disco records, a sparkle ball and some lighted floor to dance on.

I've seen (acrylic?) confetti floors like that back in the 60's! Seems like my '71 Baja bike banana seat was also that trippy color- almost forgot about that! 😀

The paint is not florescent but the speckles might.  It does have that sparkle ball from the Disco Era.
