- Опубліковано 1 чер 2022
- The Emerson Seabreeze roll-about fan. This is an awesome vintage mid-century modern style fan from the 1950's. It's been in my family since before I was even born and we used to use it alot when I was a kid at Grandmas house. I wanted to restore it to the best of my ability and keep it going for decades to come in my shop. Restoration or refurb, you decide.

Impressive restoration, looks good as new. The McMillan motors like the one you put on yours also has a history of use on Lakewood, Holmes, and Patton, so that's a pretty decent choice of motor. I may or may not be getting one soon, the video definitely comes in handy with showing how they're disassembled and reassembled. The one I'll be getting definitely needs a good cleaning, repaint and polishing. What is a good way to clean and polish it without the use of shop equipment? Since I won't have access to those kind of equipment.
You are a true craftsmen 👍. Watching your video was very helpful 👌. Truly amazing 👏
Thank you very much!
Wow
I LOVE it!!! ❤️
Thank you 🙏🏼
I'll be a buyer best fan ever
I use it al the time I’m the shop now. Definitely my new favorite fan.
Do you have one ill be buyer straight up
I honestly don’t know of i could sell this one. I have had it around since I was a kid.
I'm in need of a replacement motor for this style fan.
I cannot BELIEVE what you did towards the end.....
Nice resto!
Thank you! They sure don’t make them like that anymore. 👍🏼
Awesome Job! Those Emerson Seabreeze Rollabout fans aren't too common!
Thank you! This one was at my grandmas house throughout my entire childhood so it really means alot to me to get everything back to "new"
@@SquareSplinter Awesome! Glad it turned out great!
Great Job ! am about to restore the same identical Emerson fan........would you mind telling me where you found the decals ?
I actually made them myself. I think I linked the water slide decals I got off of Amazon. They worked great and were easy to print at home.
I have the same fan! Can you share more info on the replacement motor you used? Thank you!
I am pretty sure I put the same fan I used in the video description. Let me know if not
@@SquareSplinter what is the new motor brand and model number? ...so we can buy one too.
Great job!! But we don’t get to see it run??
I definitely should have done that.
@@SquareSplinter make a video of it running
I have this exact fan how much to restore mine?
You did an Awesome job on this ! I love vintage fan restoration fan videos :) If you still have the original motor to this ... It can be saved , they can be rewired . But I love how you redid the badge , what was it the material you used for the print?
Thank you very much! I do still have the motor and I hope to have it fixed someday. They are called “water slide” decals. They take a little practice to use but they work fantastic in that instance.
Probably just needs some oil
Excellent video! I have the exact same fan which just fried the motor. The new motor you installed is from a gable fan. Aren't they only one speed? Or does the switch determine how much power goes to the motor? Thanks!
It is only one speed. Definitely a downside.
I watched your video again. Very nice work 🙏. I have one myself and was wondering if they need to be oiled and where ?
The old original motor had a small oil port on the top that oiled the bearing on the motor shaft I believe. Since I had to replace mine I don’t really see a need for oil anywhere. I absolutely could be wrong though.
@SquareSplinter what motor did you use as a replacement?
@@SquareSplinter I have an intact exact same model, all original. Been running great but I think it could use some oil. What would you recommend? (I know you changed out your motor and didn't need to oil the old one...)
Niiiiiiiice
Thank you. 👍🏼
I would have kept the original motor rather than replacing it, the original had better quality.
I had two electric motor ships tell me it wasn’t fixable. I had no choice.
