That Kel-Aire is just like my Torcan. It sounds, and even vibrates the same way lol... except the handle is different.

+Trance88 Yup, it's very new, so not much so far, but since we have all the collector websites, all the furry websites, and all the personal websites, we thought it would be a good idea to create one main website for everything, that way anyone can find everything about us.

I don't know if you have heard of a continental metal box fan before I found one it runs great but I can't get the blade off to throughly clean it, any idea 💡 it has Allen bolt that I took out but still won't budge

Do you think it might be possible to retrofit a box fan with a wireless controller? Hampton Bay makes a retrofit for ceiling fans they call it the "Universal Wink Enabled White Ceiling Fan Premier Remote Control". It includes a black box that is wired to the ceiling fan and a wireless remote control. It would be cool if I could do this to a vintage fan.

+Sharkie626 Yeah no doubt, a good example is I can stand up on any of these vintage box fan cabinets with no problem, but I can't even lean on a modern Lasko without it buckling. Like the Emerson Collie video where he smashed that new Galaxy, he didn't even TRY to put his foot through the top, it surprised even him!

Nice fans. That Lakewood on the left seems to have a nice low speed. Do you still have that Lakewood with the penthouse control that was featured in 2008?

+Andrew Gallucci I.. THINK so, it's hard to say.. we have acquired more than a hundred more box fans since that Lakewood with the penthouse, and a few went bye-bye, so it's hard to say. I'll check with Spats.

harleybadger1 You've really got a collection of fans. I've only got about 10. Most of mine aren't really vintage. I even have 2 brace blade lakewoods that I mainly use for drying my floors when they are washed. They surprisingly still work even though the motors were completely filled with dust.

Nice fans! definitely better than today's garbage plastic crap fans that last a few years if you're lucky. also what's the name of the opening song to this video? I heard it before but I can't think of the name.

The song is called Come On Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners. It came out in the summer of1982.
