A lovely pair of circa 1970’s Pifco Spinair 12” desk fans in good working order. I forgot to mention in the video that the blue one needed fully rewiring and I also replaced the motor with another one from an identical green 12” Pifco Spinair that wasn’t in as good cosmetic condition. The blue one would’ve no doubt been destined for the bin otherwise!

      Hey @@alanaoriley, you should be able to take the back off by unscrewing the oscillation knob on the top (can be tricky as it may try and swivel the fan in the process) and undo the screw on the back of the motor cover and I think that’s it!

    That's just fabulous. You can easily see the family resemblance to the Elecrostsr. Much like Pifco family which came in many designs with common motor and components. It sounds exactly like a Starlet. Don't forget EFC, Foix and Indola also had square grilles in the 70s. Great video as always

    That is one interesting designed fan. Have not seen a fan that looks like that before, it stands out from the crowd for sure. Also there were other manufacturers as well as xpelair that used square grills on their fans such as indola with their TF8 and most TF10 models, Calor also sold fans with square grills and some limits used more restrictive square grills. But overall square grills are unusual and rare to see on a fan

    I've got this exact fan. Bought new when I lived in the UK sometime between 1990 and 1994. Made in Turkey and dual voltage so with a plug change it has worked perfectly in the USA since 1994. Like yours the plastic coupling for oscillation was broken and in several pieces. I glued it back together then encased the entire part in "JB Weld" which is a two part epoxy like substance that is machinable and extremely tough. These days you should be able to 3D print that oscillator connector. I'm not a collector but this is the best fan I've ever owned. Very quiet at all speeds, well balanced, very easy to clean with no tools required to open the cage or remove blade and oil impregnated bronze bushings never need oil.
