General Electric Fan Lamp: Introduced to the world in 1938, the General Electric Vortalex Fans were built to keep America cool in a difficult World War II era. GE continued producing the popular Vortalex Fans until the 1960s when fans were eclipsed by the more affordable household cooling systems. While today an original Vortalex fan may collect dust in a basement or attic, I take pride in transforming the GE Vortalex Fan in a way that preserves the history while repurposing its function for a 21st century home or business. I meticulously preserve each and every part of the fan as it was first created, even down to re-polishing the original screws.
Compare detail to an original R&M flag. This is a 1952 Vornado fan that I restored in March of 2005. I used a metalflake Amethyst base coat / clear coat automotive paint. $150 a pint including all of the hardener, accelerator, and other stuff that you have to mix together to make this thing scream 'Look at Me!
The stickmount has the appearance of the earlier ten inch fans, with the smooth base which becomes taller to accommodate the 12 inch blade. The trunnion mount carries the same look as it's earlier counterparts, except for the thinner motor housing, switch to a four wing blade, a new brass motor tag, and as mentioned, the grease cup. The GE badge makes it's appearance too. Sweet, sweet fans for sure. 1900 models are very nice. Both 12 inch models now have fluted bases and a return to the oil reservoirs.
Rare units can fetch up to $10,000. If you get a vintage pedestal fan, it is best if you replace the wires with new ones. Autocad 2018 serial number and product key. Don't use the old wires if you want to save a lot of money on electricity. Replacing the wires will also ensure the appliance is safe to use inside your home. It's best to factor in the cost of hiring a professional for wire replacement when you’re buying a vintage pedestal fan.
If you want you can use the CONTACT ME form at the top right of my blog pages and send me your email address. I'll send you mine and then you can send me some photos of your fan.

Libro de contabilidad general. This feature has been eliminated on our knob, which simply presses on for a snug and clean fit. For the purist out there our Vortalex knob could be machined to capture the exact look of the original, but we will leave that option up to the buyer (remember simple and affordable). Everyone we have spoken to about the knobs agree that our knobs look much cleaner than the originals and will be a definite benefit to anyone trying to repair this popular vintage General Electric fan. The knobs and switch combo is available at VintageFans.com for $39.95 plus s/h. Both the earlier black and later mahogany brown knobs as original are available.

At the time, sophisticated young people were fascinated with the flowing streamlined shapes that were evolving out of aircraft design. The fan rotates 360 degrees around the vertical axis and is suspended in a 'harp' that permits it to rotate 90 degrees around its horizontal axis. It makes a great floor fan or desk fan --or-- using a clever mount on the back, it may be hung on a wall.

A very attractive heater indeed. This is the back side of the heater shown above. Very beautiful. This view shows the front base section of the heater. The Westinghouse company name is engraved into the base with the words 'Cozy Glow'. I recently acquired this heater but it has no manufacturer's name on it. The entire case is made of hammered copper and has a nice patina.
