Terry, one of the sons wanted it so before I even closed on the property I knew it was going to another home. That's probably why I don't have many pictures of it. It's at a home about 6 miles from the shop. There is a previous post somewhere back there giving those details. Good guess things like that will be on the "fabled thread test" so you might want to do a little review work.
BTW, I haven't forgotten your Kingswood and other pictures, trying to keep my head above water with all my work here. I did manage to finish a Corvette project today finally. I've been posting about it on another forum since it's kind of Corvette specific but I'll get some highlights of it on here that might be interesting.

. Keep up the good work and post stuff like you always do, it will be a winner 
markviii I just got this in the mail.. Congratulations on making the cover

I was out at Mothers and found this in the barn and thought I would post a picture of it so Tomas could see if it is the same model as the one he found in one of the sheds.
dcm5652 you'll also note on the inside cover it denotes only her as the owner. As for me.......well I'm just the hired help. 
That's cool. The old phone-fan..adding machine.. step back in time
I'm replicating not only what was in the shop but what dozens of old auto repair shops had for an "office" back in the day. They usually had an eclectic mix of old office furniture and office supplies most of which were manually operated like the old Remington Rand hand crank adding machine.

Thanks charlief1 for that heads up on that, but don't tell Chris OK? She thinks I have enough tools as it is. Women.....if they only knew...........Never enough!

), the base and motor housing is all exceptionally nice, original finish. If your motor wires don't show any signs of cracked insulation, without seeing it, you might need only replace the power cord. Search the net, there several sources for authentic looking cloth covered power cords. Since this one was so original I'm sorry I can't really offer any other words of wisdom for what yours might need other than: clean and lubricate any moving parts, look closely for signs of cracked or broken wire insulation. If you feel the motor brushes or switch are gunky I use Deoxit D5, If you do paint anything...
Hello to you Mark and many thanks for your multi year interest in the shop and this thread. Very dedicated! All I've ever tried to do here is show and explain what I've done and why and if some, such as yourself, can take something positive from that so much the better.
My fan was made in 1941 and is a General Electric Standard Desk Model with 16" (40.6 cm) blades.
It has three fan speeds and has a 3 position oscillator. It operates smoothly and at low speed is whisper quiet.
It's all original except for a new vintage, cloth covered power cord and the fan blades and cage have been repainted (not powder coated, surprise!

electrical cleaner. It's magic when it comes to cleaning anything electrical.
clean it well before hand and perhaps use a Prep Sol or similar metal clener on the bare metal prior to painting. It should be a fun, rewarding project for you. Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes and thanks again for all those years of interest here.
Hello to you also Stretch. So you have a 220V powered version of that fan huh? I'd be interested in taking a look at that. Those old vintage pieces of equipment were truly rugged weren't they? They could take a licking and keep on ticking! Mine on the desk weighs in at around 18lbs (8 kg) and I expect it to continue operating flawlessly for decades to come with proper care. I'll get some more detailed pictures of mine on here.

Very nice work indeed
As you can see Ted, Philo truly is The Center of The Universe.
