For your consideration is a beautifully restored 12 antique. This is a list number 1153. Robbins & Myers Electric Company in 1913. It features an adjustable oscillator, three speed switch, and the venerable. “Tank” motor, a huge part of the reason that these fans have stood the test of time so well. As well today as it did when it left the factory 100 years ago. This fan has been completely disassembled down to the last screw. The powerful four pole motor and. Coil were cleaned and de-greased. And new old-style cloth. Used to replace the. Fan’s head wire and power cord. Each steel screw was refinished to remove all rust and corrosion, then. “Blued” to restore it’s factory appearance. All brass appointments including the 12 blades, 8 wire cage. Grease cups, and miscellaneous hardware were machine polished to a mirror shine. Bearings were cleaned and re- shimmed, and are ready for. Grease is held in the top-mounted grease cups, a design exclusive to. Fans of the era. The original japanned finish is probably 85% in tact, and was preserved to keep the authenticity of the fan. 4 step process of. Restoration and conservation, and now shines like only an original finish can. In order to refinish the surface where the hub meets the blades, the two were separated. And re-riveted together with the. Appropriate, solid brass rivets. The blade set was then. Static balanced to insure smooth operation. Here is a shot under the hood so to speak. New rubber feet were added to protect the surface. Sit on in it’s. The original paper switch cover also keeps the electrical connections tucked away neatly in the base. An authentic antique (not a reproduction) bakelite plug was added to the cloth covered power. Cord, to finish off the. Refitted electrical components of this fan. There are too many aspects of the restoration process to include them all in. All of the meticulous work was done by me, over the course of several weeks. And one containing the blade assembly and cage. Some very minor assembly that I will happily. Assist with will be required. A bottle of non-detergent electric motor oil will also be included. Feel free to contact me with. Questions, and thank you for taking a look.
