Classic 52" Panama Fan Co Gear-Driven Ceiling Fan (Custom)

- This one I've been hunting down for years. Any fan collector wants a rare fan that isn't made or sold anywhere and is hard to find. However, I was only able to receive the motor by itself. I won the motor on Ebay out of five other people. The rest of parts were not included unfortunately. I was still psyched but had to find/make custom parts to fit the fan and its style. The wobble was the most significant problem the fan had despite the rattling from the gears. I was able to adjust the wobble but couldn't do much about the gears. The fan isn't quite a useful piece but it makes a great decorative and collector's item and I'm lucky to even own the motor on its own.
It's amazing to think that it uses a tiny c-frame shaded pole motor, and it's got enough torque to spin that fast!
DANM THATS FAST. If only Panama Fan Co. Would make it quieter.
Believe me I don’t want to sleep with this fan running
It’s the fastest one I’ve ever seen. Also having it on speed 1 is exactly the same as on/off switch on so there is no way it will destroy the motor more than just on/off switch.
I love the color on this one
I wonder how many UA-cam videos of this fan there are now? I kinda lost track on how many of them (lol).
Pretty cool and interesting looking fan too, I also like the Disco ball that's hung on the ceiling in the background, and the top side of that fan at 2:03 looks pretty cool too. :)
There's now about 9 total videos on UA-cam of this specific fan. One video is the person taking the motor housing apart to take a look inside and seeing how it operates. And the top of that fan at 2:03 you pointed out is the KDK Gallahad that's in my first video! (:
@@nickhizfanz6569 Oh yeah, I saw that video from him before, it's kinda cool that how even explained about the inside of it in that video too. :)
@@RockProductionsYT Yeah I know, I saw both of those videos from him.
I would never wanna have that fan in my bedroom for my future home.
Had you tried it on speed 1? It would be a bit slower. Capacitor based wall control can speed up shaded pole motor, some had tried capacitor based wall control on shaded pole Original set to low (it has separate windings for high and low, so basically separate motor), and it made it go faster. But speed 1 is exactly like on/off switch on.
I never tried speed 1 but that makes sense
@@nickhizfanz6569 Yeah and a large capacitor can burn out a shaded pole motor. Shaded pole motor is like a transformer, and on direct power they have a low power factor like 0.5, so it’s basically like 60 volts on a 120 volt power. So it may explain how a capacitor somehow increases the voltage.
@@CeilingFanVideosOnYT Alright, I wasn't familiar with all that at the time so I didn't want to risk something breaking. It's currently mounted behind my front door where a light used to be with just an on/off switch
@@nickhizfanz6569 Yeah on/off switch on is same as the 4 speed wall control on “1”.
This fan sounds like a washing machine.
I've seen several of these on UA-cam, yours is by far the fastest. And with all that extra weight. Also thats not the original box. So that name is probably whatever was in the box before the fan
Good to know 😅 I could tell that the ebay seller was a little clueless since "Duncan Ceiling Fan" was the name of the listing. So then it came in that box which had me confused ever since
Nice fan A lot of those kind of ceiling fans are noisy and wobbly and they all have 1 speed they don’t sell those anymore because people want ceiling fans that they spin fast!
Yeah the fan spinning with the gears running, that noise by itself isn't bad. I'll be doing a Pt.2 of this video soon with the blades more balanced which should reduce the wobble and the noise. It's taking time since all the parts had to be custom.
Did you replace it?
@@jakeojenkinsonyoutube not yet, but I do need a fan I can actually sleep under XD so I'll be swapping it out soon and putting this one somewhere else
Did you install that switch?
@@jakeojenkinsonyoutube no, I left the 4-speed wall switch installed since I'm constantly swapping out fans that are compatible with it
The blades on the gear driven that it look like hunter r&m original ceiling fan blades
that fan Reminds me of the hunter R&M series ceiling fan
it be soundin like a motor boat with no gas
The fan saying:wang Wang wang wang wang Wang wang wang
What type of ceiling fan is this this fan is gonna fall down if it's spins like this
This is the Panama Gear Driven ceiling fan that was only sold through the Family Handyman Magazine in the late 70's to early 80's. The blade brackets are warped which causes the fan to be unbalanced, which will result in the fan wobbling dramatically. There are many more fans in existence that can spin much faster than this actually.
We used to have one of these at my grandmas cabin but it was way too noisy
Wow what happened to it?
What is the brand and model name?
@@SantinoRBX my grandpa threw it away
@@fanssmoothiesandantiques7443I guarantee that someone could have bought it even if it's broken.
3:37 reminds me of toledo HOR huladrone.
That buzzing is TERRIFYING since this is about doublw the speed these things are supposed to run at. Its probably hurting the motor
That fan is dangerous
Dangerously loud?
It doesn't sound right. I don't know if I would put it on a 4 speed control though. I do think the different blades/brackets are taking a toll on the motor, because it sounds like it's scratching (like when it starts up). Also, that down rod doesn't look safe LOL! (It looks like a piece of string holding the fan.)
You are absolutely right. I wouldn't put it on a four-speed control if it was just a simple on/off switch wired up. Yes the non-original blades and the brackets were putting stress on the motor (causing the scratching sound) considering their weight. But I had no other option since all I got was the motor by itself and basically had to order custom parts that I had to modify just to fit the fan. The downrod is a steel rod I just cut down to the correct length so that part had to be made. I see what you're saying haha it wasn't up there for long.
Yeah I’d be afraid to run it for long periods of time:) and parts for these are really scarce so it would be extremely hard to find blades let alone brackets or mounting hardware for.
My fan i a huger and it wobble a little but I always have it on high when I’m sleeping that’s a nice fan
3:38 did anyone notice the mount was moving
Dude That's the noisyest ceiling fan i have ever seen on the internet
see what does it wobbles as heck
That fan is really wobbly and loud
I liking
Umar ceiling fan
2:52
there are on the family handy man magazine its extremely rare
I used to have one of these when I was 1 or 2 its really noisy I fell down 5 times!!!
5:42-5:50 pov: you start the bus engine
Go back to meets like this fan is like Horton age a Hortense noisy wobbling fan fleets like going to knock my house over
why is the fan loud?
The motor in the fan powers two plastic gears that spin the blades which is why it's so noisy
Get to the choppa

So Malaise. So violently malaise! Made during the malaise era. All sort of different trial designs during the 70s to 80s like this one, the Magic Heat, Emerson and Nutone Friction drive and the Toastmaster McGraw Edison belt driven fan. Many describe this sounding like a can opener.
I agree!
Watch out buddy because they're going to be in dead meat whatever you see that fan fall run as fast as you can
Wow I can't even buy it
SEE?
크면서 예쁘네요
why it so wobblyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
lol

I hope that fan doesn't end up in my room because then I'll be sleeping with that noisy piece of crap on it'll be too noisy with that fan on wobbling and shaking my house and all that noise wake me up and I will stay up in the middle of the night until the morning and then I'll be tired and school then trying to do bad things
that fan bad
Why would anyone have the nerve to put that fan on the market?
Jesus Christ that sounds awful!
its a joke 🤣
The fan very noisy and noisy and noisy and noisy
Tht is an awful ceiling fan to have with a loud noise like tht
