The super-rare Adams Bagnall motors put this over the top! They feature the most primitive centrifugal start system ever used in a fan: two small chains, strung through the rotor, when the rotor spins, the chains are slung out by C-force and they pull a small copper disk off the stationary switch contacts, opening the start windings. I have a 12" Jandus wire-trunnion that features this motor, it is way cool! Sweet gyro!

A-B motors are the good stuff, the oldest ceiling fan i have is the hunter c17, and the dehli ,ceiling fan

A beautiful restoration. The paintwork and the color of the light fixtures look especially stunning together. The whole thing looks very well-balanced as it rotates too.

That is a beauty! You did a great job on the restoration.
It sounds like you've got that wired into a solid state variable speed controller.

Very intresting ceiling fan and very well restored! What kind of wall control do you use to slow it down? It seems that the slower the fans goes the slower the center part rotates.

We used a solid state controller with min. speed adjustment to slow it down. We are pleased that you like the results. Thank you for all the positive comments.

It turns strictly from the thust of the fan's blades. Thank you for the compliments. We are glad you like it.

The clicking sound as the motors spool down are the auto start mechanisms engaging on 100 year old the A-B motors.
