REMOTE CONTROL FOR ANTIQUE VINTAGE CEILING FANS. Attention All Antique / Vintage Ceiling Fan Owners: As you probably know, all Antique / Vintage Hunter, Emerson, Robins & Myers, General Electric and Westinghouse Fans are shaded pole design the WILL NOT WORK WITH ANY EXISTING REMOTE CONTROL ON THE MARKET. HOW DO I KNOW IF MY HUNTER IS A SHADED POLE THAT WILL WORK WITH THIS REMOTE?? If it has a capacitor, it will not work. If it was after 1985, it will not work. If your fan is a Robins and Myers IT SHOULD WORK. Ntique shaded pole style motors. How can you tell if yours is a shaded pole motor? Is you fan over 50 years old? Does your fan have a speed coil mounted on top? (looks like a small transformer). Does your fan have a rotary switch on the bottom? Does your fan have an empty spot on the bottom where a rotary switch once existed? Most of these older fans have had the switch and or speed coil removed and are controlled by a wall mount speed control. We have developed one just for this market and it allows you 3 speeds. Medium & low speeds are individually adjustable. Mounted in a 3 gang outlet / switch box. Choice of mounting options include. Your crawl space above your ceiling or. Cut out of your existing wall switch area. Mounted just above your fan on the ceiling. If using a swag style power cord the switch box can be placed near the wall outlet where it plugs in. Great for bedrooms where fan speed adjustment requires you to get out of bed to adjust a wall control or pull switch. Great for high ceilings where a long pull switch string is not desirable (assuming you still have a pull switch installed). Great for preserving your original (and fragile) rotary speed control switch. ADVANTAGES OF SP SHADED-POLE VS THE PSC Permanent Split Capacitor. SP has far more torque than PSC. SP is more reliable than PSC, since capacitors blow out from time to time. We have SP fans still running after 100 years, whereas the PSC have only been out 35 years, so it is not as time tested as the SP motor. The Capacitor is so hard to replace, most of the time they simply trash the whole fan. Hunter used SP fan motors for over 60 years, from the 1906 Tuerk all the way thru the the 1960’s. In the 1970’s they changed from the SP to a 2 speed winding motor without speed coil or a capacitor. In the 1980’s they went to the PSC design. In 2000 the outsourced the fans to China.
