Is this the one that was on Craigslist in Memphis? It looks familiar since the one I saw on Craigslist did not have an oil cup and was the same finish. I have collected several of these old Hunters over the past few years. Post photos if/when you get it fixed up! Last edited on Sat May 17th, 2014 04:12 am by Louis Weedman |

Yes. Met the guy in a parking lot in West Memphis and made the purchase. Also bought a Hunter 22294 (36" cast iron, oil bath) from him. Got the blades stripped, and sealed yesterday. Ordered a new Oil Cup from Hunter for the Type 52, which came in, but feels like different threads. Mr. Stephen Sanders hopefully will have the parts to get it going. Ron Austin at http://www.ceilingfanparts.com says he can help with the electrical. Attached Image (viewed 579 times): Last edited on Sat May 17th, 2014 01:22 pm by William Beckwith |

the one they sent me is part # 7318912119, supposedly for a model 21495A, newer model Classic Original ($42.79) It was supposed to have the speed switch & reversing switch installed and was the only way to buy the switch. It is just the bare switch housing. They said they would refund my money. They said I would have to take my fan to the nearest service center, Mobile Alabama, to get a switch or that they would exchange my fan and about $232.00 for a new Original Classic model 23855. They said I could call "Cool Breeze" at 972-690-4580 in Texas for parts to older Classics. All I wanted was a switch. Last edited on Sat May 17th, 2014 03:43 pm by William Beckwith |

Now that sounds like corporate Hunter! We can help with wiring. I have done many. Most any pull chain switch will work fine. Is the speed coil present? http://afcaforum.com/view_topic.php?id=31900 http://afcaforum.com/view_topic.php?id=27182

Circa 1940s fan (They moved to Memphis in 1946). I believe the initial letter of the serial number indicates a year. I have had "W" fans, but have never seen an X,Y, or Z. You have a 3 speed fan (2 inputs for medium and low and one power out from the coil). Also, the screws next to the coil suggests there was a snap switch there like on the one I have in one of the linked threads. You can reroute them to a pull switch in the nose.

If you want more already restored, I have the black one with the light fitter and a gray Adaptair for sale.

Wish I could help ya, I've got a broken one of my own (and I broke it, even worse!). Vintage fans has some NOS ones. Do not under any circumstances trade your 52 in for a new fan (especially for $200+!). Your 52 is a far better machine.

The one Hunter offered to trade out on is the Model 21495A, an overseas built Classic Original, (that just needs a 3-speed switch). I live about 90 miles south of Memphis and wish all those jobs were back in Memphis and then some. The definition of "Profit" can be interpreted several ways. Being a 52 model myself, i really want to get this one going.

Yes, satin. will be a daily user, not resale or show. Hunter had their casting down. Used some 320 wet & dry on the "rotor" & cleaned little grooves between magnets or whatever they are. Should this surface be left bare or sealed, waxed...?

Those were never high gloss. It was a satin gunmetal color that wasn't a paint, it was a finish. I usually run the rotor lightly around the wire brush on my grinder and seal with lacquer just to discourage rust. Attached Image (viewed 584 times): Last edited on Tue May 20th, 2014 08:26 pm by |

Nice! Do you know what models use the same switch housing/oil-cup/nose cone? The later ones seem to have a different thread, (maybe more coarse)?

When you sanded it, did you expose a layer of copper before you got to the iron?

The copper is from a copper oxide finish, where the fan was copper plated, then dipped in "liver of sulphur" to oxidize the copper. Often, they would use a lacquer to protect some copper so it would make a tiger stripe look.

Tom, that makes sense. The plater that I worked with said that to do a chrome plate, they do a copper plate and polish the copper, since steel is hard to get smooth. I saw a similar effect with the japan finish on desk fans - it filled the cast iron pits and defects, leaving a smooth finish once baked.

I tried to gently screw a new (alloy)Switch Housing onto the Type 52. The threads seem to be too coarse. The earlier models might have had a finer, left-hand thread, or so it feels.

I think that is the case. Your fan will likely have thicker rotor screws than the later models.
