I am looking for a friend who is in need of a very good working 8" all brass fan or restored fan... GE, Westy.

It needs to be a good runner and look very good!... I have $300 or so to spend... Can I get some help on this one?

Anyone?

I think $300 is getting into the ball park... If anyone has a brass fan they are thinking about selling, shoot me a price... Daniel? Since you seem to know toss a price out there... I will decide.....Geo...

A friend said he bought one off ebay with parts missing for $250.00
good ones go around $500.00 I think was what he said.

I bought two derelict brass Westy's for my gyro off ebay for less than 100$ each. They both needed parts, but they did run.

Must have caught you all napping....

I have a good base with working switch if you find something that needs it.

Cheers,

Bill

Thnx Bill!
I need one in good running and looking order. It is for a friend of mine who threatens to take mine when I am not looking... I have to check his pockets when he leaves! I am pretty sure I can nail 1 for $300-$400 in very nice and complete working condition... I have several leads coming in... I sure hope one is available soon or I might be missing one of mine!

I showed my GE all brass to my bud and he thinks it is the one he is looking for. But he likes the westy the best... That is a tough choice for sure... I think they are both beautiful!
