more "trash" from work. finally picked up what i wanted for the outside table fan so its more bearable to hang out outside in the summertime.

dayton 3c674c 36" air circulator

it was in poor condition sitting at work. another shift tried to repair it and couldn't get it so they were told to toss it and they'll just buy a new one. i was able to get it out the door for 5 and tax (would have been just scrap weight only but its 5 minimum and i had nothing else i wanted to take out with it, 5 is barely anything for a good fan that can be repaired).

unfortunately i'm absolutely terrible about before and after type of pics, i know people like to see the drastic difference made, but lets just say the red blade was not red when i got it, it was brown/black

overall a good buy i'd say, in the process of doing a half refurbish on it now. i may want to straighten it out and paint it up and make it look perfect again. but i'm ok with the slightly used look for now as long as it's not dripping with dirt and crud (i don't want that flying around the garage getting on my cars and such). also need to source a new switch for it, the on/off switch was torn apart, was in good working order but the guy who got to it before me just started tearing things apart not knowing what to look for. good and bad i guess since they tossed it, but it was in pieces and more broken than when it started.

this is the first drum fan i was able to pick up, i already have a few 22,24 and 28 inch fans dayton, tpi, patton, etc. i like to be able to clean them up, repair them, oil them up and get them running again. they make good garage and porch fans for family and friends. especially at the price of 10 cents a pound usually (2.70 per fan mostly.) :beer:

You done good, We have one stored in the basement at work, Don't think it has ever been used. But they will never get rid of any thing. We still have the old sprocket printer down there and the old computer monitors (green screen).

small update, got it finished up as far as ill take it.

everything cleaned up, straightened, motor oiled with turbine oil, blade is still balanced well. got a new switch, at least i know it had a carling on it before so it was easy to find a replacement for cheap so i can keep the on off through a switch.

overall not bad, been using it a bit and its much more convenient to wheel out and set up for working outside and hanging out when its hot and theres no breeze. keeps the mosquitos away too :bowdown:
