I have that fan but with the earlier die cast script badge. The fan tag says it was rated by USC at Berkeley I think. They move some serious air on exhaust! The motors are the Hunter sealed type that get zero cooling air through them and run hot as hell but dont seem to mind it. Mine got retired...

It would probably be $3000.00 with the same cast iron pitman trans LOL

I agree 100%. I can get AM 960 WELI clear as a bell because Im literally 1/2 mile away. However I can barely even get AM 1220 which is 1/2 mile past it up a hill, and I mean just barely, like its in NM. If I aim the radio in that direction it comes in better but I shouldnt have to. I also get...

I had a friend do just that recently to my Philco 42-322 radio and it plays like new. It only gets 3 stations in though and Ive been looking for those active antennas someone used to sell on Ebay that had one or two vacuum tubes in them so it can pull in more stations

Most soaps these days have way too much perfume scent for me or really dry my skin out. lately Ive been using unscented colloidal silver bar soap and its the only one that doesnt dry my skin out in Winter.

Im still cutting with a powered reel mower from the 1930's....

If you need some electrical parts like the timer assy, temp or water level switches I saved them from a 1964 A500 years ago that had a rotted tub. Sadly the timer dial was ruined so it got tossed. I may even have an original black agitator and lint screen

I probably should have chosen another one. Because I've since gotten rid of all but one of my R&M fans as well as GE for pre 1952 Emerson "G" series govt fans with the PSC motors. I love them. Really amazing and draw very little power. Got a slew of em. Plus a half dozen Gilbert Windstreamers...

I still have the same AOL email from 1999 when I got my first computer from Gateway but havent been on AOL's dial up since 2006 when I switched to AT&T/Yahoo! DSL that time.

This was almost 20 years ago. Is this machine still running? I got my 1974 A07 about 13 years ago. Its pretty tired but Ive got a spare trans I serviced for it out of an A806 I scrapped.

Im on the first floor of a 2 family home with a store in front of my apartment. In fact one of my front rooms was blocked off and is part of the store. It used to be a tailor shop but my landlord bought a big place and moved it 4 years ago. Been vacant since except for 2 years ago when one of...

I love my Maytags. The tired old 1974 A407 has a noisy trans and once in a great while leaves a spot on whites. All Ive done in the 12 years Ive owned it was a set of belts and a used timer. It does 6 loads a week. Bought it for $50.00. I also have a pristine HA806 and HDE806 I bought 6 years...

I just switched from Persil Pro Clean liquid to imported German Persil Universal Pulver Tiefenrein and love the job it does and the mild fresh scent

Emerson fans in general Right up to the early 50's were built like tanks. I think Emerson was just about the last fan company to stick with cast iron while the rest switched to pot metal or stampings. The AP-G govt issue fans qsd-dan mentioned are all I run from May till Sept on a 24/7 basis...

Gearbox removal Is very easy on that fan. Remove the screw holding the arm to the adjuster wheel under the gear box. Then the three slotted screws holding the gear box to the back of the motor and just slide it off. Turn the gear box upside down and theres a few small slotted machine screws...

Figured I’d post this here in case someone wanted to save this. My friend does architectural salvage and has this available for sale I’m assuming here in CT. His Instagram page is Urbanminers if you want to check it out and contact him. Or urbanminers.com. He has it listed as mid century...

I have some misc parts I took off a 1964 500A years ago. Mallory timer, temp control assy, washer action assy, and pressure switch assy. This washer was working until the start winding burned out in the motor and my friend let it sit a few years with water in the tub thus rusting it. I'd like to...

I would have told her " Well Im here right now with the $125 for it take it or leave it ". She prob would have took it and burned Missouri seeing as how she burned you on it

My good friend needs to replace his 5 year old washer thats dead. I saw somewhere here that Speed Queen still makes a top loader with an old school agitator and trans thats built pretty well? Hes looking for something thats going to wash clothes like our trusted old school machines, isnt worried...
