@@Marksfansandthings Needs a new coat of paint too, it’s pretty rough and chipping/rusting. It also needs a proper canopy and set of blade arms and blades. I was hoping somebody around would have something but no luck so far.
If you ever do find a solution for the snap switch replacement, please please make a video or let me know. I have two of these in horrible shape and the snap switches are crushed. Haven’t gotten around to fixing them yet. Pretty cool you have one too!
@@fancenter5204 Oh I have one, just no time to execute right now. I am gonna get a small circle piece of sheet metal to mount where the switch would have and leave a hole in the center for a 3 speed pull switch. You need a switch that does not apply power to more than 1 terminal at once for capacitors, that will wreck your fan.
@ Also, do not run the fans for very long without installing a fuse that is rated about .5 amps above the locked rotor current so if something goes wrong the fuse will blow instead of your entire house. I would also replace all the wiring inside the fans and revarnish the windings. All of that is going to happen with my fan. It all is in the interest of safety. These older fans are very safe and reliable, but only after measures like this are put into place.
Yeah mine aren’t going to be permanent anywhere, I never was a big fan of putting antiques up long term since there is always the tendency for something to go wrong. The fuse is a pretty good idea too. I know i’m going to have to rewire and rewind the fans, hence why i haven’t gotten to it yet. Mine are rusty, crusty, and grimey and are going to take months to restore.
@ Sounds like a lot of work, well worth it though. If you do go through them and do all that work it would most likely be safe to install them somewhere. Once something is TOTALLY done over electrically, it will be quite reliable as long as it’s done right. Hunters were some of the best built ceiling fans.
@@FANtasticFans82 alright but is this still by hunter or something else. Originally it was named as Robbins & Myers before hunter brand name was labeled
@ That is not true, Hunter was its own company and it was bought by Robbins & Myers and became a subsidiary. Then it was sold off and R&M folded I believe. So this is both Hunter and Robbins & Myers, just like any other pre 85 fan.

What a handsome fan
Revarnish the winding and call it done 👍

@ Oh ok I see so you’re gonna get a pull chain for it. Pretty good idea.

Here we go again with this hunter original this design
@@josephfrye7342 But this is NOT an original. It predates the Original name by about 30 years.
