I have a very nice- Freshy #20 with original pedestal mount that has a broken gooseneck mount. It is nearly perfect with the exception of this bracket. From what I have ascertained from the group these are pot metal and not repairable. If anyone out there would have one I would gladly pay or trade some other Freshy switch parts (Yes..1-2-3-4-5!) for the appropriate un cracked bracket. Many Thanks Greg Skochko Albany NYAttached Image (viewed 963 times):

I am out of town for a few days. I think I have a die cast mount on a pedestal pole. I would do the trade for this switch pictured. Will you wait up to a week or so for me to confirm my die cast mount will work for you? Attached Image (viewed 899 times): Last edited on Wed Apr 8th, 2015 02:10 am by Russ Huber |

Sure thing Russ, that sounds like a good trade to me. Meanwhile, I will measure the steel pedestal pole outside diameter to be sure it will work. I am really exited to have this fan running again. Thanks very much, Greg

That is a model 26. Why was it parted. Last edited on Thu Apr 9th, 2015 04:53 am by Russ Huber |

Thats not the actual fan just for reference. The fan it came from was mangled under a pile of electric motors at the scrapyard (blade was a 2 blade propeller but broken in 5 pieces) This switch was really the only part not mashed in and the only thing I could salvage. The donor fan had a similar flared 2 piece bullet design (unlike the #20 with just a single cone shape) with 5 speeds and a separate pull chain for the on off.

Well, while we are on the subject, I need the same part. I found a 99% complete / 100% functional Model 20 today (including the pull tag with all cage clips). The neck mount has several unnerving cracks in it, though. Has anyone ever machined a replacement?

Hi NM,I see those cracks also evident in the bits of my broken gooseneck...yikes. I can also tell you that the casting is very very porous. When it broke the cross section looked like a Nestle Krackle Candy Bar inside. I too was thinking of manufacturing a replacement out of steel on my lathe. Not perfect but at least would have a working fan and not the perfect but "headless" stand that I have now. BTW: Russ How's that "spare gooseneck" search going...your Freshy 12345 switch awaits its journey to you. Greg in Albany NY

Looks like the 1-2-3-4-5 switch I have for trade will fit a Fresh'nd Aire 26 5 speeder. Sorry it didnt work out for you Russ...still searching for a replacement goose neck. Greg

Could something like this not be retrofitted? Just one of the swivel ends, not the center piece. If so, it would be a lot stronger than the awful pot metal these are made from. Drill and thread a hole in the side of it, and use a short wing screw to tighten it down. The motor would rest on top of the tube instead of to the side, but you get the idea. I am sure there are other style clamp that one could find that are closer to original. Attached Image (viewed 622 times): Last edited on Sun Jun 14th, 2015 07:31 am by Cory Baughn |

Or this, since it comes off the side instead of attaching at the top. The piece on the right, not the left. Replace the regular screw with a wing screw. Attached Image (viewed 613 times): Last edited on Sun Jun 14th, 2015 07:29 am by Cory Baughn |

Any word on how this worked? EDIT**** - Found these - 3 Piece Clamps Scroll down a bit and you'll see them. I attached a picture as well. I thought that maybe if you could get the 1 1/2" version to work if you used a sleeve around the fans tubing, or with the 1 1/4" version the thickness of the mounting point on the Freshy's motor would widen out the clamp enough to make it fit over the tubing. Definitely a neat looking clamp though if it could work. Attached Image (viewed 544 times): Last edited on Tue Jun 23rd, 2015 10:03 am by Cory Baughn |

The tongue is chrome plate pot metal cast over a steel bolt. The cap was chrome plate die cast. Attached Image (viewed 582 times):

I have one pedestal pole left with this cast mount I keep. The pedestal pole mount is larger in diameter that the desk top model mount. If you want it that bad impress me in a PM. As you can see you have been looking for one for some time. That defines....hard to get, and hard to get comes with a price. Your call. If I were you I would use your imagination seeking advice if necessary to reproduce one in its likeness.

I was of course just kidding Russ in my post to the group. It was not my intent to poke, prod, or annoy. I realize these are indeed the weak link to these fans and Yes, I have found a rather imaginative and inexpensive solution to this situation with help from another generous group member. Thank You, Greg.

Some of the guys here can seem a bit "bristly" in responses but they mean no harm, just how they respond. I'm sure some here think I'm a bit too nice/indecisive in my responses. :)
