GE General Electric WHIZ Antique Fan Brass Blades Restored \"LOOK\":
$550.00

Ifyou have been looking for a beautiful and finely detailed “Whiz”fan to begin or add to your collection, you may never fine one ofhigher quality and detail. This fan is finished in “Pullman Green”custom mixed to closely match the original GE color. This fan hasbeen totally restored in every detail and is the model with thebuilt-in on/off switch. These fans were produced beginning in 1924and were one of the most popular GE models because they were veryaffordable compared to other larger models. This is a single speedmodel featuring an on/off switch with brass blades and runs verysmooth and quietly.


This fan hasbeen totally disassembled and all originally painted parts sandblasted clean. These parts were then filed and sanded smooth priorto applying coats of epoxy 2-part automotive primer. Then, after wetsanding, two coats of 2-part automotive acrylic enamel were appliedin Pullman Green. Then two coats of 2-part clear-coat were thenapplied over the green enamel for additional hardened protection andthen rubbed out for a lasting shine. I think the photos show the truecolor and beauty fairly well.


The old wiringhas been replaced from head wire to line cord using “old style”cloth covered wire, soldered and heat shrunk to the stator which hasbeen fully inspected and coated with liquid insulation where needed.Finally, a new antique style plug was installed onto the new clothline cord. The switch contact surfaces have been cleaned andadjusted for positive action. New rubber grommets replace all of theold original ones. All of the brass components including screws, oilreservoirs, nameplate and badge have been finely polished with clearcoating applied for added protection. The brass fan blades which runtrue are highly polished but can be clear-coated before shipment ifdesired at the buyer’s request. The oil reservoirs have beencleaned with new wicking installed, adjusted and filled with freshoil to provide positive shaft lubrication. New green felt has beentightly applied to the base to protect table or furniture surfaces.


Thebrass blades measure 9-inches in diameter and the cage is 10 inchesacross. The base is 6 inches in diameter and the total heightincluding the cage is approximately 12 inches. This fan weighs 6pounds and will weigh 11 pounds once properly packed for safeshipment. As the cages on these Whiz models are fragile, the cageand blades will be removed for shipment and packed separately usingbubble-wrap, blocked in and double boxed for safe delivery. I willprovide insurance for the full sale amount and make sure your fanarrives safely as pictured. Reassembly is fairly simple but I willprovide the buyer with detailed instructions to make sure.


Uponclose of the sale please pay only with Paypal and allow 1-3 daysafter payment for packing and shipping. Shipping and trackinginformation will be provided. I will also consider Internationalbuyers, but, please contact me 1-2 days prior to the sale closeto determine shipping costs, and, to confirm the payment will comeonly by Paypal. I will determine shipping cost options by eitherUSPS or UPS to your foreign country. If the fan is awarded to aforeign buyer , please delay paying immediately after the saleuntil I am able to apply the exact shipping cost to the invoicethat I will send after the sale. Also, first time buyers with noofferding history please email me prior to offerding or you offer may bedisqualified.


AlthoughI use high quality materials, best wiring practices, care andworkmanship, I cannot be responsible for the design and safety ofthese fans, especially guarding, which is inherent in their earlydesigns.


Thankyou for reviewing my listing and please feel free to contact me ifyou have any questions or comments about this fan.
