Here is the F-560A1 fan I mentioned in the previous video. Yup, it's the Panasonic version, that I've been wishlist since I saw one in my brother's former elementary school!: • 56" Panasonic industri... . I was actually expecting to acquire the white label version as they were much more uncommon compared to the brown label ones (the National version is the opposite). I even looked for this fan at some online shops, but it's hard to find one on sale with good condition and complete parts. Even to find one with the white label (and with the desired condition) is also very impossible. But one day around July of 2021, my uncle told me that he has an unused ceiling fan when he was going to sell his old place. When he showed me the fan at the place, it was this fan, a Panasonic F-560A1 that I'd been looking for! It has a brown logo though, but because I've wanted a Panasonic F-560A1 for a long time, I decided to take it without too much hesitation when he said that I can have it. I'm actually not quite sure about the date of this fan because the specification label on the motor was missing. But my uncle said this fan was bought in 2004, so I'll consider this fan is made in 2004.
It was previously in quite worse condition from the performance side. The blades were bent, the bearings were seized, a rusted motor's shaft and even the regulator's switch feels loose like it was about to get separated into pieces. Not long after I achieve it, I began restoring it one by one, starting by fixing the bent blades and the alignment. Then I bought new bearings for it after saving some money, sanding the rusted motor's shaft so that the old bearings could come off easily, and finally, I give a sunbathe to both plastic motor covers (so as the speed regulator's box) with hydrogen peroxide, since they were previously more yellowed compared to the canopies. Lastly, I swapped the regulator's switch with one of my KDK WZ48/56-2's regulators' switch as coincidentally they utilize the exact same switch. And here it is now, 90% restored! Why 90%? Because the regulator's bracket was missing, I couldn't find a replacement bracket right now or even make a custom bracket for it. But I outsmarted the speed regulator by using a double tape on every edge so that I could use it with the fan, and it's all good for now. And Matsushita made fans typical, it produces less noise compared to other industrial fans, but it generates a lot of air! I am very happy and grateful that I finally achieved another fan from my childhood memories into my fan collection!
For your information, this fan was not officially sold in Indonesia. It doesn't even show up on National/Panasonic's website and catalog back then. But why do a lot of Indonesian citizens can have this fan?? They were sold like hotcakes, and it's even one of the most common fans back then, they are all over the place. Well, this fan is a black market product back then. They were illegally imported to Indonesia, spreading them to Indonesian markets, and finally people bought them for their own needs. Andd, it was made in China. Yes, CHINA. I believe a lot of you thought that this fan was originally made in Japan (I thought the same thing before), but after I did some research, I found out that it was made in China. And that also tells why the manufacturer says "MFD for Matsushita bla bla bla", not "MFD nor Manufactured by". But don't worry, although it was made in China, its build quality is not as bad as what you may have thought regarding Chinese products. This fan definitely has a good and best quality compared to all other Chinese-made fans we've seen nowadays, it even utilized copper windings inside. I would say it's very similar to the National/Panasonic/KDK made by PT. National Gobel, or even the ones directly made by Matsushita. They even have the same reliability as the non-China-made ones, even the airflow it generates is also strong as the original version of Matsushita fans!
If you're a follower of my Instagram / theextremefanenthusiast and realized a suspicious Matsushita ceiling fan in my Instagram stories (not the National F-EY129), yup! That was this fan!
