John Landstrom Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) What comes to mind is the memory of the shock I got as a 4 year old when I slid one of my sisters straight bobby pins into a wall outlet in my bedroom! All I remember is a “POP - FLASH” and ending up on my butt with burnt fingers and looking down to see the bobby pin had brunt its impression into the wood floor. Of course mom was pissed after she knew I was okay. So, if you find me a bit “eccentric” you might know why now…… Edited February 14 by John Landstrom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 There is clear evidence of the purpose of the geared mechanism, and a clearly seen fan motor component seen to PIN down the fan motor manufacturer. Who will be the first to nail one, if not both answers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Huber Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 The fan manufacturer clue is looking right at you. Fact Jack. Focus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 There are a number of established members here that own either an oscillating or stationary fan motor manufactured by the company that the prepayment device is attached to. You are going to slap yourself on the forehead that you missed the clue that YOU own and are looking at above if you can't ID before it is revealed. Focus, people. The clue is like a sore thumb. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Rusnak Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Coin Op Oscillating fan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 2 minutes ago, Jeff Rusnak said: Coin Op Oscillating fan ? Hey Jeff, It has been determined a coin-op, or prepayment fan. Oscillating or stationary is irrelevant for the fan the prepayment device is attached to. There is a component seen on the images above that is characteristic of the fan motor manufacturer the prepayment device is attached to. That component will identify the manufacturer of the fan.

Louis Luu Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Reminds me of the Westinghouse Coin-op housing but it is missing a few parts for confirmation. Never been inside a GE Coin-op before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been inside a GE Coin-op before. The good news is the fan the prepayment device is attached to is neither of the above mentioned. A fair amount of collectors looking at this post own fans with the clue clearly seen here to pin down the fan manufacturer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
