- Well I have been looking for one of these fans for quite some time and finally after years and years of searching I finally got one! Decided to not only go through it electrically and mechanically, but also give it a nice coat of paint too! Hope you enjoy!
Thank you for showing how you spray your windings. I like the paint contrast.... the fan looks new!
My pleasure! Hope it helped! yeah I am very happy with the paint contrast too! That was the goal LOL! Thanks for Watching!
Great job!!! I actually prefer the full length/long videos compared to the time lapse ones👍🏻
Thanks! Yeah I also like doing them every once in a while, but they also take forever to make and edit so recently I have been doing less of them, but I try and do them every once in a while when I can! Thanks for Watching!
Another great video! Always look forward to seeing a new video wether it is a fan, engine, or engine show. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Eric! Sorry they have been slow recently, I have been real busy with school lately! New engine video going up soon though!
Nice restoration on a sweet little fan!
Thanks Chris!
Love its deco lines ! ❤
Me too! It's a great looking fan! Thanks for Watching!
Have a great new Year Colin !!!
You too Will! Hope all has been well! Maybe we can meet up at a show at some point this year! It's been a while!
Good show!
Thanks Paul!
Nice job 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Bono!
I have an Arctic Aire that is almost the exact same as this GE. I wonder how they got away with any patent issues! It runs so smooth though! It was a fun restoration! Good job on yours!
Yeah I have seen those before! They're neat fans! They also clean up really well! Thanks for Watching!
My question is what is the loud background noise in your video? I do like your videos!
The background noise is likely either another fan running in the background, or the loud intermittent ones are either the furnace or washing machine. I film these videos in my basement so unfortunately I can't get it super quiet all the time... Glad you enjoy the videos! Thanks for Watching!
I know Alex Rushing from the AFCA Group on facebook. There was a guy on there showing off his GE AOU 12" fan and he said Alex Rushing going to the electrical store. I though he meant Alex RUSHING as in Alex being in a rush to get the electrical.
Hahaha, yeah Alex is an amazing guy who does incredible work! Thanks for Watching!
@@colin_5839 Your welcome :)
Great video! I have this fan but with a GE symbol on it, it has all the same internals. Mine has a slight knocking sound coming from the rotor, do you know what causes that?
Thanks! Interesting! I bet a knocking sound is either thrust washers or the bearings are just really worn out. I'd start with replacing the thrust washers though as that's a pretty simple and straight forward thing to do. Thanks for Watching!
Will Lasko come back to their 1990s fans in 2025?
Probably not but either way anything Lasko after the early 1980s is complete junk so it doesn't matter to me anyways LOL!
I have this same fan but with a ge badge on it. The same fan took out the extensor tendon in my right hand due to me holding it by the base and the wing nut being loose. Whoops.
Ohh yeah I've seen those! I think they were a slightly later version maybe? Ohh damn that doesn't sound fun! Hope you recovered! Thanks for Watching!
@@colin_5839 I did get surgery and recovered, I do still have the fan.
First one
Congrats???? Never fully understood the appeal to making a pointless comment like this just to say that you made the 1st comment....
