Really love these old fans
They are from an era when things were made to last. I've been collecting fans for years and many have the oscillating and speed adjustment features.I use my fans in every room.I really enjoy watching them operate.They move tons of air are quiet, and trouble free.Keep them oiled clean them periodically and they will run forever.Great information video, any other tips are appreciated also.
These emersons are wonderful. I just finished fully restoring a late teens 27646
I recently rewired and installed new felt on the base on this Emerson and it still runs beautifully. Emerson definitely made some good looking and good running fans.
An Emerson 29646 oscillating fan I inherited from my father has “NP 196” on the right lower corner of the identification plate. The 29646 was produced between 1922-1936. Since the +20 rule applies to Emerson fans made after 1929, I will assume this fan was made 1922-1928.
Thanks man, I've got a couple oldies I tinker with once and a while. Don't know how to reattach aluminum blade to aluminum hub. thanks.
Good looking fans !!
If a person doesn't know anything about safety on a fan, they sure do not need to be tearing it apart & messing with the wiring in the first place! 125 volts 250 Volts is nothing for a unexperienced/ ordinary person to mess with!
I have a Hunter Century C-16 built in Fulton New York that's been passed down from father to son for three generations now and I'm trying to restore it. It works but needs some repairs. This will probably sound like a dumb question but is there a trick to get the cage off without the fan blades? I've tried the 4 screws that connect the cage to the brackets but they aren't budging,the nuts on the opposing sides from the screws won't either. So is it something simple that I'm overlooking or just old stubborn hardware? I'd really appreciate any info you may have.

I’ve been collecting fans since I was a kid you won’t believe how many times I go to buy one and the seller wants to plug it in so I can see if it works before I buy it I tell them no every time not worth the drive if it burns up right before I buy it
Hey folks, trying to get the blades off an old Mistral 2 Speed Oscillating Fan, got me stumped, any thoughts? Can’t see a way to lock the shaft so that the blades can be unscrewed or anything.
Looks like you can sell the cage struts and the wrong cage for some money. Great work.
Thanks for making this video. This will help all the people need Information about them. Also are you going to make a video on your GE fans.
I will definitely have videos on my GE fans when I get around to them.
@@Charger383Mopar also what about your new emerson
@@Zackthefanman76 wont have a rewiring video since this one is basically exactly the same as the other one but I can have one on servicing it with new grease.
I have a gilbert desk fan from the 1930s but there is no information tag anywhere on the fan, i looked everywhere and there was nothing
We found an old GE looks like this one like cast iron? But is it worth saving?
If its in any kind of decent condition I would say yes.
Nice
Anyone what do these # mean on my working fan...serial 1762928, cycles 100-120, model 241853B.
I’m sure there’s a video about fans naming the parts. Maybe one that would troubleshoot something my fan got hot and now the blade won’t spin so I’m assuming it’s a motor but all I know is the gears wires if anybody out there could tell me about a video I’d appreciate it
I have a few aq1 fan after removing the motor from the shell the coils are now loose and rattling around is there any way to hold thin in place
I actually used epoxy to hold some coils still on a fan I recently serviced and it worked pretty good.
@@Charger383Mopar what kind of epoxy do you think is best
I believe any 5 minute epoxy would work fine. I just wouldn't use too much in case you need to disassemble in the future.
I used lamp cord for head wire is it safe enough for head wire
As long as it's wired correctly and safely it should be fine.
>>> PLEASE HELP!!!
Email me some pictures and I'll see what I can do. charger383mopar@yahoo.com
Where can I get a wiring diagram for a 79648AP-G?
I'm sure you can find one if you google it. That's what I do. You could also join a couple of antique fan groups on Facebook and ask for one.
Sweet 👍🏻 👍🏻
I have just purchased a Western electric 32 volt DC direct current fan list number 6400 and was curious on what I needed to do to convert it to run on AC alternating current 110?
I don't have any experience with that type of fan. Try asking in some of the fan groups on Facebook.
