MUST DO Oil Wick Modification for Lasko/Galaxy/Sanyo Table Fans!

- Alright so this video details a modification that my buddy Rob came up with that is a MUST DO if you own any form of Lasko/Galaxy/Sears/Sanyo table fan! IT seriously increases the oil capacity and delivery capabilities of these fan motors and lets them become service free for years to come!
Love the green fins
Me too! They're great!
I've seen blue ones. Never seen a Green one. 👍
Yeah the Sears branded ones were green at the beginning! It's a super neat color, just harder to find! Thanks for Watching Paul!
good video colin i enjoyed it so glad y'all got that 1970's fan going again can't wait to see another fan video from you again soon
Thanks Lemont! Glad you enjoyed! There will be plenty on the way! Thanks for Watching!
Your welcome and be sure to check out my royal blue high velocity fans i got also i am getting the 12 model of the ken brown next month@@colin_5839
Great idea! My daily driver Sears/Sanyo from 1972 still has an intact wick on the rear bearing but the front one has almost entirely been lost to time…
I am SO GLAD my Sears is a very early one from before they started using that stupid roll pin. It probably takes me at least half as much time (and 1/4 as much cursing) to get that thing apart than any of the later ones😅
Even if the rear oil wick is still intact, I doubt it works nearly as well or holds nearly as much oil as this modification allows for so I still highly recommend doing it! :) You know it's funny, I have never had an issue with any fan using a roll pin for the blades before! I've always been able to punch them right out / back in again! Thanks for Watching Alex!
I would recommend replacing the grease also so that way the gears don’t get destroyed.
Ohh yeah of course! I feel like most people know to do that though so this video focused more on the oil wick modification. Thanks for Watching Zack!
Love it
Glad you enjoyed!
Those blades are acrylic plastic, which is a type of glass plastic.
Thanks for the info!
Nice video! 👍🏻 did you see my part 2 on the minibike?
Thanks Bono! I saw that you posted it but I didn't get the chance to watch it yet! Will check it out soon! Thanks for Watching!
I'm trying to figure out what material to use for oil wick on a modern fan. I only have a tiny space to push something in there. These washer style ones don't seem like they would work so well in my application. Are those felt washer wicks literally wool felt?
Have you ever worked on a Patton high velocity fans with the metal blades???
Yes I have worked on those, they're quite simple fans to work on
I have 2 Galaxy fans similar to this Sears. Both have very noisy oscillation. A lot of clicking noises. How to service that part to make it quieter?
I would recommend that you pull the oscialting mechanism apart and add a lot of fresh grease to the system. Often times the tiny amount of grease they added from the factory was both not enough to begin with and also dries up with time. Thanks for Watching!
is sanyo the oem of panasonic too, or do they manufacture their own stuff ?
I believe that Sanyo and Panasonic are different companies, but I'm sure this mod would work on a Panasonic if they used the same crappy oil wick that the Sanyo's did back in the day... Thanks for Watching!
@@colin_5839 o ok thats good to know the, but there’s just one problem lol. I have a 16” Panasonic desk fan like yours, but it’s a little newer with the horizontal slat badge, and the motor is riveted together, which sucks because i don’t have a drill, so I’m pretty much stuck with thrust washer issues, and oil the bearings from the outside.
Sorry missed this response until now. You can drill out the rivets and get the motor apart to service it and bolt the motor back together afterwards. That's what I did for mine, which you can see in the video I did on it a little while back.
Sorry, blades
No worries!
Sorry to say it, but, have you ever heard of Kleenex? The sound of someone "hawking back the snot" is very off-putting !
As a matter of fact I have heard of Kleenex before! However, when you have really bad allergies and you are trying to film in colder weather there is only so much one can do to prevent your nose from running! Sorry that the sound of me sniffling was so off putting to you, but if you are so utterly disgusted by the sound there is nobody forcing you to watch...
@@colin_5839 The thing is, your videos are usually quite interesting, and not normally spoiled like this - I have watched, and commented on, a number of them. It's just that in this one, it almost incessant.
A useful tip, as so many other people do, keep a reserve of recorded material in hand, then when you're not en top sante, (under the weather) you can still upload content without compromising it. It only needs two or three in the can to keep a flawless stream.
What about the starting gear?
What do you mean by starting gear?
@@colin_5839 single phase refrigerant compressors use a start capacitor , start relay and O/L.
