Why did you do a stupid thing like that???????¿???????😢

Thats not a hit and miss engine

I love those GE's electric fans and electrical things the company have made in the history. I am a big GE brand fan myself:) Good job fixing that beautiful GE Electric Fan and nice paint color I like Blue as my favorite color too!

That turned out great, bro! The dark Hunter has a great look. Nicely color matched(close enough), without the baby puke green we see on some restos. Thank you for the shout out on the paint technique and assistance. You know I always got your back and wouldn't recommend anything I haven't done. The final result is one to be proud of! Even though we are spoiled with pre-1910 fans(your tank for instance), the AOU is hard to beat. That and Emmy 29646s. So glad you are helping keep these old beauties for around another 100+ years!!! Apologies for not getting to this sooner. You know the situation, but I made sure to take the time to properly praise the work you did. I like that you stick with it until done. Too many people get overwhelmed and never finish theirs. Keep it up, bro! 🤜🤛 🍻

Amazing, man!!

I have the 16 inch variation. It is also very cosmetically rough and the blade is a little bit bent up. Also, it has a busted grill. But I got a replacement grill for it. I plan to fix the blade and guard and do the wiring but leave the cosmetics alone. I kind of like the faded glory appearance..

Very nice restoration! A few years ago I bought GE Fan off ebay with the brass fan cage and blades that dates between 1910 to 1914. Unfortunately the wires were cut going to the head. I am pretty good with electrical but I had a difficult time finding exact wiring diagrams for a fan of this era. My fan has what looks like a transformer in the base of the fan. I really would like to see if the fan runs before I start restoring it. Currently its been sitting in a box in the closet for a few years. Can anyone tell me a good website with detailed information on the exact wiring for a fan of this generation? I've watched every RUclips video i could find on these early fans but couldn't find anything that showed me how to wire it from scratch. Once I see that it runs it will be a huge motivation to continue with the restoration. Any advice or links to wiring schematics is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Absolutely stunning job Colin! That fan came out beautiful! I kinda like the "aged" brass look with that green it really compliments it nicely. Thanks for sharing buddy!

I can imagine you in 80 years like, 60 Years ago, "I completely resorted that fan over there"

Beautiful job Colin!

Nice job! Best one yet 👍🏻👍🏻

Man, that came out nice. And the color is awesome!

Awesome job Colin looks real good 👍 thx for the vid

Very nice fan. I found a rusted up one at an antique shop once like yours but it had the star wheels & was a steel blade fan. I fully restored it & sold it later, I really didn't have a good spot for it. The hardest part was replicating the curved cage wires as a lot of them were cracked were they were coiled around the hoop part. I had to drive some heavy nails into my workbench to make a bending jig for the new wire. Smooth running fan when it was done, wish I didn't get get rid of it as well as an oliver batwing typewriter but oh well. It was all going to be a part of a steampunk/retro computer desk Idea I had. Start with a hidden popup typewriter desk & build your computer in an old radio case. The flat screen monitor would be in mabie a slimmed down tv case or picture frame & the mouse made out of an old telegraph set. Also somehow wire up the typewriter to do keyboard things.😁✌👍

Is there a Emerson black paint that you can get

Got one for 25 blades are not overlapping though

Cool green color and i like the humming sound that it was making. Like the blade looks with its shine i enjoyed the video

That was a nicely done restoration. I still have the Safe Flex fan over here from my stepfather. I'll have to tear her down and do some maintenance on it.

Very nice work Colin... I've been wanting to get one of these old vintage fans... Maybe if you have one that you would like to sell, I'd be happy to take one off your hands... A friend had one years ago and the bushings were wearing out and it had the best sound ever... It would put you to sleep 💤 in 5 minutes of listening to it.. C thx for bringing us along and you take care my friend...

Nice fan! Cool plum crazy Duster in the background too!

Hello! I know this videos is old, but I've browsed forums with little help. I just came into possession of one of these fans (Pre 1960 as the logo on the shroud is red.) Everything works, and the spin down time is a little over 30 seconds with no out of the ordinary sounds. I'm not an expert on these, but it seems to run a little warm. I've heard the old shaded pole motors tend to run warmer due to them being less efficient but just out of curiosity I checked it with a thermometer and it read just over 103° Fahrenheit. I suspect that it may have been apart at one point in time as the nut on the bottom has been replaced with a much newer stainless steel square nut, and rhe blade is ever so slightly crooked. Anyways, I just wanted to know if i should be concerned about the temperature it runs at, and if its normal. Like I said, it makes no noise, has a nice long spin down time, and seems to be well greased. Just wanna know if its normal to run that hot. I should also add that it doesn't seem to slow down when it gets warm, nor does it put off a bad smell. Thanks in advance!

That vintage fan is amazing! It must be preserved at all costs for sure. I have always been fascinated with vintage fans like this but the sheer size and beauty of this beast is incredible.

I think what they used on those as that rope is called binding twine. We used to use this stuff in the server rooms at work.

I just picked up one of these because I loved the look of it. It works. What would you recommend? I was hoping this was an in-depth video.

When things were built correctly. Wish they continued it.

Make sure your igniter is charged properly

Do you have the blue bladed smc fan you talked about ?

Thanks for doing this. I have one just like it that is in decent shape but has a good rattle. So I wanna take it apart bc I love taking things apart and fixing them. I’ve already machined a quick aluminum oscillator knob but I wanna make a nicer one that will look good spinning on top.

Those older Patton high velocity fans without a doubt are strong and well built, but the motors on them can also get really hot, hot to the point I primarily run mine during the day so I don't potentially have a motor mishap overnight.

Beautiful generator set. I can only imagine the lives saved by the medical x-ray images taken with this generator back in the day.

If I could just get the blade off. Mine is obviously oiled well but I need to get in there. I've tried using two screwdrivers to pop the hub off from the back but that sucker is stuck on there. I did it! I got behind the blade only with my fingers, pulled real hard and wobbled back and forth, pops off. For anybody else taking this apart, open the gearbox and remove the gear that's engaging the worm gear on the rotor, then remove the rotor. Put the rotor back in before you put that plastic gear in.

Do you repairs? I live in Los Angeles, I have an Emerson 77646--AN (I can't read the last digit of the 5-digit #, so it could be a letter) I took it to someone to repair the "cord" everything was working fantastic, but the cord looked frayed and got warm, so I thought I needed to replace it. When I went to the shop to pick it up, he had it running on low, so I thought it was fine. But, it does not work. It had different speeds, it oscillated but no longer. It has sentimental value to me, and just a cool fan.

Just found your channel, and I enjoy watching your work.. My grandmother had one of these fans, except hers had twin fans, but like so many things it disappeared over the years... Thx for sharing your skills and time with us... Would you possibly be living in Canada? I've had lots of videos lately from people living in Canada.. Some very talented people up that way... Take care...

Very nice job on this one Colin! That is a rare one for sure! 👍

Great job run great. Had several of these over the years before I did You Tube. Used to have an 850 watt 32 volt permanently mounted to charge my Edison battery bank for my off grid system. Great machines but very heavy that's why you don't see many at the shows. Even with wheels they are a hand full.

Nice video! Cool little engine 👍🏻👍🏻

Very neat! I saw one of these Delco plants in my small town historical museum when I was a kid and thought it was cool. Wasn't an X-ray version though! Sounds like yours would putt happily all day.

Great video, Colin! That is a super neat little engine. I'm glad you finally got it going and running absolutely perfect. Also, that cart came out beautiful love the woodwork!

You get hold of some really fascinating "toys" there. 😍

Neat! Would be cool to have the whole X-ray setup for it. And some lead to hide behind lol. The AC and DC voltage will always be in direct proportion to one another. Load on one or the other circuit will change them slightly, but the DC voltage cannot “climb” without the AC voltage doing the same. You could probably run something like a simple shaded pole fan motor by reducing the voltage to around half, ie 60 or so. And it would run at half speed. Would need to use a transformer rated for around twice the voltage, ie 240, due to the half frequency. It would be fun to play with!

Wow that was a hell of a deal for the Robbin’s and Myers’s double diamond. I paid 65 for mine and it didn’t even have a good motor.

Very cool piece will make a nice display , I think we know someone who would really like that as well, great vid , thx Colin

Nice collin, that's a new one for me... great show piece.

Nice🎉🎉

Love those old vintage fans.. I'll trade you my old Pedestal Walmart special for this one...lol.. thx for bringing us along...

So cool the 1st time had to watch it a 2nd time , just as good as the 1st time, thx Colin

Very interesting. Tell me, does the Hit n Miss engine draw fuel each and every engine revolution, or just on the firing cycle?

Stellar video! I have the same fan, it stopped working today and with your help I had it back up and running in an hour or so. Are you able to share the STL for the oscillator knob?

I have a Frigid P20 3-Speed box fan that has a tremendous amount of sentimental value to me. I am trying to find someone that I could pay to fix it. Do you have a side-business where I could send it to you for repair? The fan worked without issue all of last year. I stored it in a room for the winter and then a month ago plugged it in to run it but the motor did not turn on at all.

Hey Colin do you have videos on your DODGE TRUCK that is one cool truck love them Dodges.
