I have an assortment of old fans-a sharp looking little R-M, a Knapp-Monarch that is pretty much worn out, a big Hunter table fan-all have broken oscillators which I need to tend to. There is a little no-name metal fan that must have been sold in a dime store-doesn't even have an on/off switch. I use it on my bench to blow solder fumes out the window! Then upstairs I have a reversable Vornado window fan that really does a nice job. I can just never decide if it is better to blow the hot air in or out?
The only problem I had with an old fan was a Sears Kenmore I bought at a church yard sale. It was still in the box, must have been from the 50s. It seized up while I was sleeping; luckily I awoke. I tried to fix it but it seized up again so I dumped it at the auction.
We needed a new fan in the house because dear Mrs. Gadow prefers a stand-up oscillating fan and none of my old ones fit that description. The last one we had developed a broken neck-it would only aim down at the floor. The latest Crapola chinese fan I bought to replace it will not last long. I'm almost afraid to move it for fear of breaking something off.
