I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

    You can use aluminum foil to fix the LED lights. Each bulb is a circuit. So find the broken circuit and foil it for the rest of the bulbs.

    Those types of fans usually have fuses in them. And especially the motor probably needs to be blown out with dust and stuff build up over time. I do that with my older fans. Just take air hose and blow it out or a weed blower will do the same thing.

      AC input- not the issue, the internal power converter is probably dead and needs replacing. Worthy of a test with a cheap multimeter.

    About the fan not pushing air, you have to re-bend each blade because with old/very used fans, with the constant movement.. they kind of flatten overtime.

    Great job.
    DeWalt Fan, great score.... The nice ones are supposed to "soft power" and run quieter, so they're not so annoying..... Looked like a nice fan. I mean, if you don't want it, I'm here for you..... ;)
    The strobe light: They don't strobe on their own. In a tower light scenario, uhhh, let's say hypothetically here.... There's a control box in the little building at the base of the tower, that sits there and turns the light on & off.... You can hear the relays clicking while it's running.... And some only do the red blinky at night, or sometimes the side-lights only come on at night, so you gotta put a sweatshirt over the light sensor, and then drive a 1/2 mile away to see it, because you can't see crap standing under the tower..... You know, allegedly, hypothetically.... Like hypothetically if part of your job was to test this stuff..... Hypothetically we might have been told not to discuss this stuff...... But just fyi, the light is probably working perfectly as designed & intended..... what you have there is not really a "strobe" light... A strobe has that super quick flash of blindingly bright light.... that's just a "normal" light, that goes on for a few seconds, and goes off for a couple seconds, on a tower somewhere, to alert aircraft in the area at night of the presence of a tower....
    Sorry, I could go on & on... To you young people, listen up: if you have a clean driving record, and can pass a drug test.... You're already ahead of 95% of the applicants... I am not joking, that's the rate.... If you're not afraid to climb, and you're in reasonable shape, you can make all the money you want climbing towers... I'm not kidding. I'm not talking about just "crossing into" 6 figures, I'm talking about getting INTO the 6 figures.... Now, it's work, yeah, and there's weather, and it can be miserable at times... Guess what guys, EVERY JOB is miserable at times, and involves hard work.... Just sayin. These jobs are out there....
