    Its motor is cool and a little similar to the old Arno electric fan motors here in Brazil that were used in TC 16 1C12 circulators and in FAN 16 and fan 12 fans

    I have the 1960s Version of this fan ( a 12106) Mine is the aqua Green with the 4 paddle Metal Blade set, mine has thousands of hours of use and rattled real bad when i got it , and yes I agree that noise is very annoying , anyway I oiled it in and around the shaft several times and the rattle would return within an hour or even less of operation, I finally decided to take the motor apart and inspect , what I found was that my fan had been run in a wood working shop or something as the motor was packed full of sawdust , I think the sawdust was effectively absorbing the oil out of the bearings , I cleaned it out completely with a solvent cleaner even the bearings , the oillite Bronze sleeve bearing are Porous and surrounded by felt apparently the pores in the bearings get plugged with sludge after 50 years and will not wick the oil through from the Felt , after I cleaned mine I soaked it with 3n1 Machine Oil and re assembled it and turned it on and in just a short time it rattled again that was back in the winter , I got irritated with it and just set it aside where it sat and soaked for Months , a couple weeks ago I took it out in my garage and put it in the window and have run it many hours over the last week or so and Guess what it does not rattle anymore apparently the Bearings finally flushed themselves out and are properly wicking Oil again

      Zoom Spout or 3-in-1 blue can. Anything lightweight and non-detergent should work.

    This still seems to be a durable fan despite being cheaply made. Certainly better than today’s crap.

      I figured it would be, but this one has been perfectly preserved. The plastic is strong and pliable still. Must not have spent much time in the window.

    Oil the bearings. You can get bearings for them for about 6 bucks a pair but you have to drill out the pop rivets and bolt in new ones. But think of it this way. YOu won't have to replace them anymore if you keep oil on them. That motor is done. Replacing te bearings won't fix that motor. THe shaft is what's bad inside the bearing sleeve. The shaft cannot e reverssed or it would be able to have one repair. You can't fix that type. It's done. Should have oiled it. Worn bearing sleeves and motor shafts will be easy to take apart. The good ones are the hard ones to take apart. Those squggly washers are in there do keep the amataure from rubbing on the stator coil. IT could lock up against the rotor as well and burn up the motor cause a fire if there is lint and crap inside the fan. Well ship dog. YOu have a zoom oiler. Whey didh't you do that before it went bad.

  • @jockoharpo2622
    @jockoharpo2622 Před rokem

    The reason they don't last is because there are oil ports to keep the motor bearing oiled. If they don't get oiled, they dry from air gbeing blown on them and heat from the summer time. If you look at each end, you will be able to see a slit in te steel and an opening. You use a zoom oiler spout straw and you stick it into those opened divit slots to oil the motor. A little rotation while squeezing the bottle will get the felt sopping wet with oil for future use. As for quality, the older fans had a sleeve bearing. Those have ball bearings. I tihnk they are better tan before with the exception of plastic blades. I don't care for them. They aren't as balanced as aluminum ones.
