@christophersonnier576 Sure! But you always run the risk of the fan getting damaged in shipment. Shoot me an email and we can discuss. Fansofthepast at Gmail.

@@coltonpreslar3026 Thank you!

I've only got ONE Westinghouse that still has the button nose. I'm thinking about super gluing it in there after I restore it! 😉

@@FansOfThePast That's a good idea. i once created a button for one when I was restoring it in one of my videos. I forget what I used but it looked good.

@@floridarusticrepairs If you ever remember what you used, let me know!

Much appreciated. Yes, I'm still trying to build up the channel. In the meantime, I'll just keep restoring fans!

I will let my editing staff know!

No, the brand is Air-o-Lamp. Super rare and hard to find, as they were very top heavy and susceptible to falling over and damaging the shroud. I've found several old advertisements for them online.

Yep. I restore antique and vintage fans (and every now and then old lamps and heaters).

If the bearings are worn, you'll see some up and down play with the rotor shaft (not in and out). If they are worn, you can find some replacement bearings online. You'll have to know way you're looking for. Another option is to buy another fan for parts! If you have any other questions, feel free to email me (this username at gmail).

More so compared to an Emerson or GE!

@@FansOfThePastDefinitely! I just got through taking a 12 A3 apart. It’s basically the predecessor to the fan you were working on in this video. Getting that gearbox off was a lot of pain and a lot of cursing. If you ever get the opportunity to work on a signal cool spot, those are nice to work on as well.

I've got one in the lineup! Soon!

Thank you!

I kinda overboard with the nameplate, but oh well! Thanks!

@DBVintage Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, I'm getting with the pacing. After each video I'm always like "Why would anyone want to watch me turn a Screwdriver for 15 seconds?!?"

@floridarusticrepairs Those dang blades are so hard to balance though!

@@FansOfThePast So true! Those heavy steel plates holding the blades do not want to be adjusted.

Yeah, I found out later that it was a coil. But I was glad to be wrong! I hate speed resistors!

@@k.964 Filming while working is a pain.

@@FansOfThePast I bet. But appreciated. Thanks for the video.

Found it on Facebook Marketplace for $50!

@@FansOfThePast Wow! I started restoring old fans in the 1990's and these were rare even then.

Yeah, I got lucky!

@FanofGE Your best bet is to get the exact same speed coil to replace it. I'm actually working on a GE pedestal right now. When I'm done I'll release the video on it. But it was missing the speed coil and I got a replacement from antiquefanparts.com

@@FansOfThePast Ok thank you,i live in South Africa so i think if i order there it would be very expencive for me

Thank you very much! Feel free to share some of my content! You can find more of my work on Instagram too: @Fansofthepast

@@FansOfThePast ill check it out!

@leahcim38 I use a buffer. One wheel with red jeweler's rouge, and finishing it on the second wheel with white jeweler's compound.

@FansOfThePast very nice looking. I do mine all by hand and finish with premium McGuires polish. I just uploaded a beautiful 1914 Centrury Fan. Check it out I think you'll enjoy it.

It was a gamble, but it paid off. I made sure to reduce my air pressure on my regulator.

I removed the windings and then varnished them, yes. The varnish provides additional insulation and has negligible effect on the magnetic field. After many years of use, it's good to add more insulation to windings (varnish) that could have had its original insulation worn down over time.

Thank you! I think what you're doing is a great thing! Save these works of engineering art from going in the dump. Keep them maintained and they'll last forever!

Yep! My 15 year old editor has been playing the GTA series a lot recently. Can you tell?

Thank you!

They're more bushings than bearings. As for the material, they appeared to be brass. But I cannot tell you with with absolute certainty.

@@FansOfThePast oil-lite brass bushing with a felt like material to catch the oil in the oil hole at the front and at the back bushing. The bushings can be dismantled to replace the wick like felt material which acts as a reservoir for oil.

Typical red ball bearing grease. Nothing fancy. I put it in a cake decorating bag to make it easier to get in those small crevices of the gearbox.

Exactly! This model was a government spec'd model. Among several differences from the household consumer model, they required the fan to be grounded. It had a 3-prong plug way before codes required a ground prong in the home. What made it even more difficult is that the headwire was 4-conductor because it had an additional conductor for ground.

@@FansOfThePast I guess the color kind of gave it away as government. :) Is this also why there's no badge?

@floridarusticrepairs I guess the government didn't need the excess parts, so as to save the taxpayers' burden. Remember when they used to do that? ;)

@@FansOfThePast lol!

Hi there! Send me an email to my username at Gmail dot com. (Same as this name). I'm trying to avoid spam emails by posting it directly on here. I can definitely help you out with your badge!

Which screws? The larger screws that are horizontally mounted into the motor head? Or the smaller screws that are screwed in vertically? Either way, when screws get to be a bit difficult, I used Liquid Wrench as the first step. Let is soak in for about 10 minutes and try it again. If they still won't budge, I get my heat gun and apply heat to the screws. They usually loosen up that point. But I've never had issues with the gearbox screws before...

Hi! You will need a capacitor with the following rating: 1.75µF 250VAC I found some on Amazon, but I can't seem to find that exact rating on there anymore. But I helped someone find more by doing a Google search. Let me know if you need further help!

O equipamento está faltando? Ou o equipamento está desgastado? Você pode me enviar um e-mail para este nome de usuário @gmail.com

@@FansOfThePast tá desgastado

@@TheHugoshadow Envie-me por e-mail fotos, medidas e imagens do número do modelo. Provavelmente tenho a peça que você precisa.

​@@FansOfThePasteu mandei a foto do ventilador e parecido com o seu mais número do modelo não sei a marca aqui no Brasil e eletromar westinghouse
