Steve, did you ever get this BMY back into running condition? These are such sweet fans, the best ever made by GE...

Not yet. It is on my to do list but requires a few more things. But it is on my list to get done.

I know it's just an item but it's an item that has survived. Been through the hands of many people. Survived scrap heap calls during the wars and a majority of people that just want new stuff and think old stuff is junk. This is indeed true and sad. I've been the victim of broken fans in shipping and I had one failure when I had a fan "professionally packed" by the UPS store. I like to look at this a different way. If it wasn't for this group of collectors, they would mostly all wind up in the land fill. On balance, you have to expect some damage but the ones resurrected vs. the ones damaged are 99%. It is fortunate that your damaged fan part is easily replaced.

Survived scrap heap calls during the wars and a majority of people that just want new stuff and think old stuff is junk. This is exactly how I feel about the loss of something old. I once dropped a Jim Bean decanter when I was about 16 and I was nearly in tears.

I really got very lucky when I bought my pancake from ebay that something like this didn't happen. The person I bought if from just stood it up in a box and sent that. Somehow it survived and only the cage was shot.
