Up for your consideration is This Emerson 16" 73648 Fan featuring solid brass Improved Parker Blades and the durable sealed dust proof bearing that was offered on their most reliable fans for over half a century. Emerson Electric is widely esteemed among many fan collectors as the most reliable fan manufacturer ever, and this particular fan reflects their unmatched reputation.
The fan runs and oscillates great on all three speeds and moves a huge amount of air. The fan was tes...ted overnight and performed perfectly with no problems.
This fan was completely dismantled and cleaned. The fan was stripped down to the metal, primed and painted with high gloss enamel with the exception of the front and rear motor housing parts which retain their original japanning which was polished with automotive polish. The blades were machine polished to a mirror shine on a buffer and were not lacquered The brass Id plate and cage button retain their original black background and were coated with a specialty lacquer designed to preserve brass.
The fan retains two of its original bakelite grommets, but the third had to be custom 3D printed and does not retain the original ribbed design.
The oscillator gears are in excellent condition with no signs of wear and were repacked with grease. The stator and speed coil retain their original magnet wire and wrappings and work perfectly with a distinct difference between the three speeds.
All the wiring was inspected and replaced where needed with new cloth covered wire and the cord was fitted with a much safer old style polarized half sphere plug. All the electrical connections were soldered and insulated with heat shrink tubing.
The original rotten felt was color matched and replaced.
All the external screws were heat blued and the brass hardware was lacquered.
The fan MUST be oiled before use! Use 3in1 electric motor oil in the blue can. (not included)
Please read the entire description and view all the pictures prior to bidding!
The fan will be partially disassembled for safe shipping.
You are responsible for assembly!!
Thanks for viewing! I will be happy to answer any questions!
