Thanks for the video. I have one of these and it said 2.1amps on the bottom of the fan. That seemed extremely high for a box fan. I noticed, however, that the motor you show says 1.2 amps. That sounds a lot more reasonable... though still a little high. I suspect they just made a typo when they marked the bottom of the fan itself. Edit: I just seen that your replacement motor is 2.1 amps. So, maybe mine actually is 2.1 amps. That's about 250 watts. That's pretty high isn't it? Other fans I have are only like 45 watts. Though, they aren't the bigger box fan. Plus, this Lakewood one is VERY powerful when on full. You put it on carpet and it will easily blow itself over.

You mentioned Menards. I use them quite often and have been very happy with the service I have been receiving from them. Personally I think they are a much better home improvement center then Home Depot or Lowe's.

I just scored this model at Goodwill, excellent condition too. Cleaned up really nice. Do you spray any solvents, degreasers, or anything at all into the motor windings to get the dust out? I used my air compressor and a dry paint brush to agitate the dust in the motor, but not as clean as yours is. Any tips?

I'm so glad I found your video. I just picked up the 16'' from an estate sale for $6 and I was trying to date it. I was surprised that I could not find any information about it when searching. So thank you!

I’m glad air king is still using the older designs lol

I may get one of these or get a air king 9102

It’s a childhood tower fan

Useful video, are the final results available in text anywhere? I've been thinking of buying a new fan and I'd like one with more CFM.

I think this one is from 1983. I bought a new old stock one from 1984 (the box says 2150c) i bought it for $80 and it is just like this but doesn't have a handle and it has a newer plug but still says LMP on it. It had a 22 second spin down time the first time i ran it for a short test. I mad the lady selling it half way and she was going to charge a fee for that, but she changed her mind about it.

I've always wanted one of these!

Pointless

The triangle is the air direction

its the same as the Amazon basics its a good fan i enjoyed the video

Very great fans. I recommend these

After time the spindle the blade slides onto gets a little loose with some play in and out and makes a wobbling noise on many of these fans. Do you know how to fix that? Hope you can help

it starts up slowly for a 1725 rpm split phase motor maybe cause it is newer or the fan blade slows it down

Hey mate I just picked up a Sanyo ef-6dv can you tell me anything about like the year please

Pretty sure I’ve seen those in 1980s Dayton catalogs.

I had one of these when I was young back in 05

The 9166F listing says it is a "whole house fan". It has 20" blades. Yours does say 'whole house' but in the description: "powerful enough to provide air movement to the entire home or office". I'd love to see you do another vid on this fan. Close off all the rooms except for the room farthest away - open a window there and hold a ribbon or something, yeah? That's what window fans of yesteryear could do. I want one of these but not sure it will pull air through the entire house. Think about it? Cheers

I bought mine new in 09 just went out after a fall from hip high shelf.. but still turns on. In search of new replacement blade...so I don't have to buy a new 1...I am SOLD On this fan! 60$ well spent on 2009

How do you get it open to clean

That would be a model 2151

Tiny

This is a Duracraft Newbury Street fan.

I own roughly 16 or so fans. I'm a fan of fans. I remember my dad had one of these when I was a kid. It always put me to sleep. I miss this kind of fan. Wish they still made them.

Mines blow hot air in a hot garage. Is that normal?

Wow ! Came with a box ! Fabulous ! I just found a Sears model. Almost identical. But with amber coloured blades. Love it

Thank you! I couldn't figure how these legs were supposed to go. D'OH!

You can easily reattach the shoulder strap using the adjustable component!

Can I buy parts for it

Can you buy parts for it

What would you recommend for the loudest clamp fan? I'll be using it for a bunk, and I also like loud fans for white noise. Thank you!

Seems like all these have warped blades cause they are all very fast. I have a 1997 98 3733 that runs that fast and I took the blade and heated them and unwarped them now it runs normal speeds and moves more air. They didn't have quite enough pitch

we have these in the UK

They clean up just fine. Kind of a b!tch to get back together but better than buying a NEW one. But yeah. Mines red tho. I absolutely love mine fr

This is the first time I see RAKS exporting fans to the USA

I've heard many people claim these lakewoods are their favorite. I never really understood why, mostly due to the materials used.

I have never seen a 16" blue galaxy fan the only one ive seen was a brown one

I have at least four of these fans mostly 12" and one is a 16"

you are likely the only attendee that noticed or appreciated these fans. there's beauty in that.

Big evaporative cooling

How to disassemble for cleaning

Kick ass fan for the money, my Air King 18” seems to promote better circulation but this is really solid! The Air King is much heavier and 3x as expensive! My Air King died after 14 years and picked this up, we shall see how it lasts!

Wonder if it’s energy efficient. Just bought one today. Curious to know the watts or just how much energy it will use.

I have yet to find someone on KZbin that has cleaned one of these blowers.

Does this motor use the huddled windings?

Does anyone have a guess of the life expectancy of these fans in continuous operation? I'm using one to blow air on my air conditioning air handler which has condensation problems on the outside. The air flow on low speed eliminates the condensation so just wondering what kind of life I'll get out of one of these fans in continuous use.
