      Thanks for the information. I had never seen one before here in the UK, so it might have been brought back from SA by someone who used to live there!

    I love those GEC bullet fans. I wish the company implemented these for 120v 60hz countries.

      As far as I know GEC only sold them in the UK and perhaps South Africa, but it would have been nice for them to make an American model too!

      Thanks Richie, I plan to make a more in-depth video of my collection at some point as this video is somewhat mediocre and I have acquired a few new fans since then. :)

    That is a very nice collection of fans. Also I have wondered, how powerful are the metal bladed GEC bullet fans?

    • @LucasTheTechCollector
      @LucasTheTechCollector  9 місяців тому

      Thank you! The GEC metal-bladed fan sounds powerful but in reality it doesn't have a great airflow (when compared to the Hitachi or the Tatung for example).

      @@LucasTheTechCollector yep 😂 glad you appreciate that. It’s defo the same fan I had then 😅. The original buttons were knackered they wouldn’t stay pressed down so i replaced them with those buttons that came off a cheap q connect 9 inch thing that was broken. That t10 was in a right mess when I got it, was seized solid which I fixed with oil, I also replaced the cord and plug as the original one was in a horrible state. It’s looking great now though!

    6:29 Does that Hitachi have a timer?
    7:19 That "Cool Boy" looks more like a Taiwanese ripoff of a Sanyo fan. However if it's a real Sanyo then wow!
    I love the slow start of the National Panacool, at first I thought its capacitor went weak but it seems to reach full speed.

    • @LucasTheTechCollector
      @LucasTheTechCollector  Місяць тому

      The Hitachi does indeed have a timer! Sadly when I tested it however, it did not appear to function. The "Cool Boy" fan is indeed unusual as it features the styling of some Taiwanese Sanyo fans. Here in the UK in the late 1980's we also had Pifco fans that were near identical so probably originated from the same factory in Taiwan - whether or not they are real Sanyos or just knockoffs, I don't really know.

      @@LucasTheTechCollector Aw, shame about the broken timer.
      You could take the motor cover off the Cool Boy and check the motor. Sanyo motors have a distinct design, there may be clones though so check the run capacitor as well.
