Will Miller Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Picked this sweet 5 blade list 2610. The cage is a little rough and it's missing one strut and has another in bad shape but overall I'm happy to add this unique little guy to the collection / repair queue. If anyone has any recommendations on the struts I'm happy to hear them. Regards 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Shirey Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Check with Steven Dempsey, he might have struts and possibly a cage. He works on a lot of those. The struts from a 4 wing should be the same. Edited December 21, 2023 by Lane Shirey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Rathberger Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Pretty sure I have the struts. Nothing much wrong with your cage. Let me know if you don't have joy lanes route, I'll wander up to the pile barn and see... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 The 5 blade list 2610 with brushed universal AC/DC motor was introduced in 1916 with brass guard and had its last year of manufacture with steel guard in 1920. Remember R&M 5 blade manufactured 5 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're really neat little fans, I felt lucky to find this one in working condition with everything but the 2 struts intact. It will stay in my permanent collection at least until I find a BC like your pic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Robbins & Myers announced in 1917 electrical trade their entire line of desk and bracket fan motors was of drawn steel. It appears they may have discontinued their separate catalogue and manufacture of cast iron models in 1917. It also appears Robbins & Myers started the use of steel guards as early as 1917. 1918 for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
