hi again, do you know what the name of the screw at the back of the fan is, because im looking on a hardware website and i need to know what the name of the screw is thanks one again.
I'm guessing it's an M8 or so bolt equivilant. Try B&Q. Measure the hole size and ask someone there to help. Should be about an M6 or 8 hole and any standard threaded bolt will fit it.
hi, at the back of my fan there is a hole at the bottom where a screw should go but i think it fell out when i brought it. do you know where to get a spare screw for it thanks!
@djlightingcrazyful Not sure now as they are a discontinued fan. I could suggest measuring the hole and getting an equivalant size from a hardware shop.
Wow! My nan and grandad have the exact same fan! in the living room its still going strong but the oscilator doesnt work right, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt they decided to get a new one and its no where near as good
The screw works in reverse to normal tightening (i.e Anti-Clockwise) try rotating the fan blades with one hand and turning the centre screw with the other. If you have the centre part missing, it's not good news I'm afraid, you need that part to keep the blades on the fan. I suggest a look at a new fan?
how do you tighten up the screw onto the fan? my lloytron pedestal fan didn't come with a screw so i used another screw from a different fan but it didn't work PLEASE HELP!
Ah - nice fan. Those were fairly common here in S Africa. I had a similar one, grey coloured and branded as "Pineware". I think I sold mine some time ago... but then it was nearly 10 years ago.
Nice older pedestal fan. Those were common in America in the 80's and 90's, and like yours, that was when those fans were made well (see Professorkiwi's Air King Pedestal Fan).
I agree, I think a lot of those fans had 6-pole motors paired up with deep-pitched blades.
The relatively low speed (typically 1100 RPM's on high, down to about 600 on low) and deep pitch blade for large air movement made those fans quiet and powerful.
Fan still running OK yep thankyou!

I have bought a Maxim 16" pedastal fan
I got it for £10 instead of £22! I put sewing machine oil on the bearings. when I got it
it should run for 5 years, without attention.

Unfortunately, they're hard to find now.

Yep. Built to last. If this fan were to ever break I'd have to find replacement parts from somewhere!

Those fans from the early '80s through the early '90s had amazing thrust with little noise.

My 1980's Galaxy is like that.
