The text describes a fan restoration project involving a period-style fan rebuilt kit on eBay, which includes a 2 wire head wire and short leads. The fan is in good working condition with brass plated steel blades and a switch lever that moves from the off position to the left or in a clockwise direction. The fan is also accompanied by a 1920s Fitzgerald Star-Rite 12 inch vintage electric fan. The old fan was damaged beyond repair, and the fan has been updated with new cloth coated insulated wire and rubber grommets.
The fan is heavy-duty yet quiet running in any of the three speeds. It has been updated with new cloth coated insulated wire and rubber grommets inserted in the fan. The wire is used to “crimp” the connectors on each wire and then attach the new wiring to the fan or appliance like the original wiring was connected.
The Star Rite fan, originally built by the Fitzgerald Manufacturing company in Torrington Connecticut, is an antique fan with four blades, a square cage, and a heavy metal base. The fan is in good working condition and can be used for parts, display, or restoration. The wire is becoming increasingly difficult to find, but most wire companies now offer this type of wire. The item number is 326161115692, and the fan is in good working condition.
