Neat, the grille design on the last one is kind of crazy. Did you buy any? | ||

I have quite a few old fans I pick up all over, I donlt recall paying anything more than $10 for them. But they are all run into the ground when I find them. Takes a lot of work to get them back into action again. This one beautiful metal box fan I got, it is so filthy and smelled so badly like drugs, I swear someone used it to operate their drug room. I sealed it in a trash bag with about 20 lbs of baking soda for about 5 months and it worked to get the stink out. | ||

I got two freebies, back when I was actively collecting.
A turquoisey Eskimo box fan, that a small local restaurant used to use to draw hot air out of their kitchen. Needless to say, it was a bit greasy. But, it cleaned up pretty nice, and seems to work fine. Another one was an oscillating Westinghouse; probably a Lively Air. It's also turquoise. I've done nothing with that one since rescuing it from the trash. I don't do mechanical work on anything; I just clean them up. This one would need work, as the cord was cut off, and the motor is very stiff. You can turn the blades by hand, but it's not easy. It looks pretty, though. Barry | ||
