After looking through the fans listed already, I will be bringing examples worthy of using as door stops and wheel chocks! The best I have to offer is a complete 16” kidney and a 16” three star. |

Not sure what I’ll be bringing to sell, but I’ll definitely need a table. The Lundell will be making her debut if she’s complete in time. Possibly an AEG sidegear as well. Last edited on Sat Jun 6th, 2020 12:34 am by Sean Campbell |

It's OK to not have prices at this point? Just wondering what these kinds of fans are worth these days.Thinking about coming, shipping fans is a drag - - but this is a 2 day drive for me |

First of all, people telling others what they will be bringing to a regional meet is not offering to sell their wares to any and all readers of this forum, but rather only to those that will attend the meet. Wow!,... what an enticement to the attend the meet.  Isn't that what we want as an association? (Personal interaction and fellowship!)  How is telling others on this forum what they'll be bringing to a meet (without prices posted) any different than someone posting a link to their currently running eBay auction (without a buy-it-now price)?

I like seeing what others are bringing to the regional for sale or trade. Gives me something to look forward to and if I see something I am interested in, I'll send them a PM and see what the price is. I posted these GE custom fans to get the ball rolling. I didn't put prices on them because I'm really not offering them for sale here on the forum, just giving a heads up that they will be for sale in September at the Museum meet. It's probably a gray area......If someone sees something they like and PM's me asking the price, I'm more than willing to let them know. Maybe it'll entice them to come to our meet and see the Museum too. What I didn't post are the 12 original condition GE pancakes ranging 1899 thru 1908 that will be for sale at the meet too. These are the duplicates from my collection....oddball voltages/cycles, CGE's, BTH's, etc.. |

Technically, none of the fans are for sale "right now" so it's perfectly "legal" not to have a price on it. Nothing in the rules specifically against it. Besides, it gives people something to enjoy looking at and a reason to attend the meet (our club activities). I really can't see any harm done here, so why would people be mad about it? |

Well consider the fans, friends, beer, and brats. 😬 |

Steve,I'm what you might call bi-fanual when it comes to my preferences. Some Emmy's catch my eye and some GE's are interesting. I've even been known to mix it up with an R&M on occasion.  |

At the 2018 meet Kim started yelling at me for parking in the reserved Emerson section. Almost in tears I asked him if there was a minimum number required to park there. He said no, but you’re parents had to be related BEFORE they got married. 😆 |

Well, I have no clue at this point what I’m bringing fan wise. I am bringing myself, some guns, beer, and a nice comfy chair. I’m just hoping and very much in need of some stress free, protest free, Covid free, political free, drama free, camaraderie and shenanigans. These are my only expectations right now, and this group never lets me down when it comes to that. When it comes to fans I consider myself a Fansexual. I am open to any and all brands of fans. The more brass the better. I do not discriminate or fanialy profile. Last edited on Thu Jun 11th, 2020 09:50 pm by Chris Smith |

Drama?....Drama?.... Drama at a fan meet? Say it ain't so...We don't need no stinkin' Drama! But I'm sure we'll have lots of guns, camaraderie, beer, shenanigans and just laid back fun here. I've got seventeen fans on site that will be for sale at decent pricing. If I can get these sold, then Eddie can finally have that operation so he can walk again..... |

And if you're on the fence about attending and you're a cake collector, these will be offered...… A pair of 1900 stickmounts….The one on the left was restored by ??? and has been in my collection since 2004.....The one on the right is in original condition...**NOTE** This pair of 1900 stickmounts are no longer available..  A pair of 1903 1st variant trunnion and stickmount. On the left is the BTH (British Thomson Huston) 190/220v type AK form C in unrestored condition and on the right a Canadian General Electric (CGE)type AB form C with an older restoration. The stick has been in my collection since 2003 and the trunnion since 2014  These are a pair of CGE trunnion mounts from 1904 on the left and 1905 on the right, both in original untouched condition.*Note* The 1904 is no longer available.  These are a pair of true 1908 trunnion mount fans in original condition. Both are 190/220v and are very late serial numbers.  These are a 16 inch 1906 1st variant CGE trunnion mount and a 1899 type UI form E7 trunnion mount in an unusual voltage 110v 50 cycles. It is in original untouched condition and came out of Buenos Aires Argentina. So if you're a budding Pancake collector, you can buy one of these as a starter kit or all of them as a pretty fair collection. I'm paring my collection down to one each of all the models offered every year 1894-1908 and these are doubles of those examples. Come see me at the Museum in September, you won't be disappointed....  Last edited on Tue Jun 16th, 2020 02:40 pm by Kim Frank |

The 1820 should not have the taller base shown above. It should be the same as the 1520 and early 11648. The above fan has the late 11XXX base. |
