Emerson 73648 Fan

This is by far one of the crustiest, rustiest, grungiest Emerson fans I've ever seen. It appears to have been submerged in water too. I've done nothing to this fan except put some oil in it. It's just the way I found it, with the rusty upside down cage, missing bottom cover plate, missing oscillator linkage, and adjusting ring around the neck. Appears to have had a rewire with red wire and electrical tape. I had previously tested the fan with a variac and brought up power slowly so don't razz me for running an unsafe electrical appliance. It's amazing to see a piece of machinery from 1929 looking like a pile of junk and still running. Yes, MADE IN USA when things were built to last and we knew how to make them in our own country.

You just cannot kill an old Emerson! These are the greatest electric fans ever made. Restore this baby and make a video about it! Great fan!
