THE FAN WORKS PERFECLY, HOWEVER IT HAS THE FOLLOWING ISSUES. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE 5TH PICTURE, BASE HAS LINES AND NEED TO BE WELDED. HOWEVER TANK IS UNDER THIS BODY AND THE BURNER TANK IS IN PERFECT CONDITION, WITH NO HOLES AND NO LEAKS. IN SAME PICTURE YOU CAN SEE TOP OF BURNER IS MISSING, HOWEVER IT CAN BE RESOVED EASILY, ADAPTING THIS PART FROM AN ANTIQUE LAMP OR LANTERN VERY EASY TO FIND (TO TEST THE FAN, I USED FUEL AND I PUT A COTTON INTO THE HOLE OF THE BURNER, SO IT CAN WORKS EVEN WITHOUT THIS PART). AS YOU CAN SEE IN 6TH AND 7TH PICTURES, IT HAS SOME DENTS, VERY EASY TO RESTORE. THIS IS A SIMPLE DEVICE WITH ALL IMPORTANT PARTS AND IN WORKING ORDER, SO IT CAN BE RESTORED PERFECLTY. This is an extremely rare and antique hot air fan. Ball or balloon model with Stirling engine. Made during the end of XIX or beginning of XX century in Germany and imported to Argentina under the brand of EXITO. I only see this model three times in 20 years. But this one has the lowest serial number (47 engraved on the balloon) and is the first version, almost identical to the second version, but it has a small difference: a different pattern of holes in the lower part of the cylinder to dissipate the heat from the burner. Discoloration and signals of use consistent with age. Blades diameter: 35.5 centimeters. All defects not mentioned but visible in the pictures will be considered as described. If you have any question, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your visit. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Kitchen & Home\Small Appliances\Electric Fans”.
