Tim Babcock Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) 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.

Tim Babcock Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Babcock Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Now all I need is some Disco records, a sparkle ball and some lighted floor to dance on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Landry Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 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! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
