Fans of the Past

 

   For your viewing is a Sears Kenmore model 124.8062 single speed 10 inch electric fan made by Signal. Sears did not make their own fans. They contracted out their fans to different fan manufacturers. The fan is an oscillator but it has a bad gear so is does not oscillate and is stationary. It is 41 inches tall, 11 inches wide, is done in a Hammered Green and is all metal. The guard does not have any broken welds or bent wires. There is some minor paint loss from age. The blade is free from any creases, is not bent, and runs smoothly. The base is not chipped, cracked, or broke. Motor cover is free of any dents or creases. The motor and gearbox were dissembled, cleaned, and inspected and relubricated. Motor bearings are in good shape. The fan was tested for over 2 hours and operated with no issues(There is a Short Video of the fan running in the Original Videos Section). The bad gear in the gearbox does not interfere with the operation of the fan, only the oscillating. At some point in its life a newer switch was installed along with the power cord with polarized plug.  For a small fan it moves the air. Tag info: 110-120v. 60 cyc. 60w., Kenmore, Model 124.8042, AC Only
