Sleeping with a fan on, anyone else?

Thanks all.

That Diehl is nice but it has some problems. The body is made of pot metal and it's in terrible shape.

I've replaced the headwire so hopefully I won't have to open the case again, it should be okay if it's not messed with anymore.
 
The book Collector's Guide to Electric Fans by John M. Witt doesn't have a lot of detail about Diehl fans, but does indicate that Diehl made very high-quality fans with cast-iron bases and motor housings through the 1920s (and maybe later, though he isn't specific). However, Witt is very critical of their six-bladed Command Air fans of the 1930s -- I'm no expert but it looks like this is what Arcturus has. Witt calls it "a very cheaply made fan with stamped steel blades, base and motor housing."

Years ago, I used a 10-inch Emerson fan to help me sleep. Most Emersons will run practically forever with minimal care.
