Great video on servicing the Ambassador 12 Inch desk fan! The grilles on these older fans I find are much easier to bend back in place compared to the new fans. I also like how easy these are to service compared to today’s fans.
Omg u totally farted! Lmfao! I watched this video trying to figure out how to take apart an old fan and I swear I thought I hear a huge blasting rumbler! I did hear that didn’t I.
Regarding the oscillating knob, I have two blue blade fans and both knobs have popped off with very little force. (Only a little bit more than what i'd need to engage the oscillations) These motors do not have movable bearings.(bearings are fixed in place) The best way I have found to loosen them up and align is perfectly is to loosen and re-tighten the screws. Do this until the motor spins extremely freely. Some screws may be slightly looser than the others. But that's fine. The motor will not come apart.
One thing I have noticed with why these might not lock up is because of that rubber piece on the front of the shaft, and one thing I have noticed when a fan locks up it’s usually the front bearing that is dried up so my speculation is that rubber piece on the shaft prevents that from happening and the lubrication from drying up.

Mine makes a noise every time the oscillation changes direction.
