I bought this at the same barn i got erik92da's Toastmaster. The place also had a rusty vornado, a strange quiet fan, and what looked like a never opened Lakewood 3rd gen... but I didn't buy any if them

Can you ever oil this faN?

[mitchman2100]

yes and no. It was made a "permanently lubricated" fan, which means it was greased, but after a while that grease dries and needs to be done again. I don't have any, so I just oil it, which is actually very difficult.

Its not that hard there is 1 screw in the back and then the cover comes off you will see a hole nest to the button that you push to ossilate fill it up. the front you just lay it on its back and oil around the shaft I have this same fan running next to my bed every night for the last 23 years. one of the last well made laskos

[mitchman2100]

forgot to mention, for some reason, the oscillator stick, won't come off. and I can only access the front of the motor. :P

Which is your favorite? Blue or Brown?

[mitchman2100]

Blue no doubt, always has been always will

Except for the 16" then I like brown

In fact, don't you have a brown 2151C with pointed blades? I love those, they're sweet. 8)

Even though the oscillating knob cannot come off these kind of fans, maybe you shoud spray liquid wrench down the oscillator shaft wait a while then pull the knob off.
