  • In this episode I will restore this rusty vintage fan. The fan has lots of rust and all of the wiring needs to be replaced. This project was lot of work because there were so many phases in the work.
    After disassembly I started by removing the rust and paint with Laser Cleaner. The device wan loaned to me by W2M (w2m.fi/?lang=en). Here is their demo video ( • 120 w laserpuhdistimen... . For the safety guard I used electrolysis for which I've made this tutorial: • How to Remove Rust wit...
    For the painted parts I used filler and filler base coat. The color is blue metallic car paint, and it was coated with 2K clear coat to protect the surface.
    To remake the damaged badge prints I used heat transfer. Should I make a detailed tutorial of the process for my second channel? I printed the wanted image on a transfer paper which is linked in the tools section. It normally requires a heat press, but since I don't have one I only used normal oven and used clamps to generate the needed pressure. I also used silicone pad to make the pressure more even in case my sheets of plywood were not even enough.
    I also replaced all the wiring vintage style braided wire was used for the part that had similar wire and the rest of the wire was just plain plastic wire like it originally was.
    I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks for watching!

      It was interesting, but all my fans stop working because of the motor, and he didn't do anything to the motor, so my guess is the fan worked before he started restoring it. It was rusty and not up to modern code, but it still worked.

      Maybe... maybe... had to make sure idiots wouldn't stick their fingers in a fan I guess.... no its more likely that the shift to plastic was because they found ways to make stronger plastic which wouldn't shatter as soon as you turned it on. Plastic being lighter.. means a less heavy duty motor and a less heavy item overall and less power consumption

      I have little experience with fans and others, but I maybe it might be still good as long as it doesn't dry up, when the fan moves it will loosen the lube a bit more. but you may be right, I'm not sure.

      @@magicmanhs7718 Nah fan motors have been designed like this for about 100 years now, it's to ensure the fan during it's heaviest load (start up) has the most power going to it to ensure it starts spinning and doesn't burn out the motor as the motor is even cooled by the fan itself. So if it fails to start from a low power position it can easily over heat and burn.
