NEW FANS: 2 52" SMC Emperors in Chrome from December of 1981 from Facebook Marketplace in a 1934 house. Uses a 4 blade only Laguna motor (approximately 200mm motor diameter), schoolhouse light kit (no globes present), J-hook mounting with bell canopy, 3 speed pullchain, and electrically reversible. The fan on the left has the worst bearings, original light socket, blades painted to match up the wood finish, all blade arms in tact, and a bent top plate. The one on the right has better bearings, replacement light socket, generic blade arm with a replacement blade since the owner's roommate broke a blade arm most likely, and a top plate that didn't get bent. Both of them still have bad bearings and will need to be replaced. For whatever reason, the light kit hot wire is connected to the black fan hot wire that's also connected to the red wire to the pullchain in position L from factory.
