[@FBG_Cory]

Nice 1980s super table fan looks nice!

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thanks!

[@FBG_Cory]

@@TheSuperFanMan no problem

[@Alexander-in9mc]

If you are restoring this fan,maybe you can do a video of how to disassemble and assemble this fan and service this fan. It is up to you

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Good idea! I’ll definitely consider it.

[@Alexander-in9mc]

Where did you get this

[@LemontTheFanMan]

what an Awesome vintage super desk fan looks like a rebranded Lasko galaxy with the Amber blades can't wait to see the service video of it some day good find and i enjoyed the video

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thanks! I do plan on doing a couple more videos of this fan in the future including the servicing.

[@Connectitthefancollector]

That fan looks and sounds beautiful to me even when it hasn’t been serviced fully yet

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I agree! Even 30+ years of little maintenance can’t hide the beauty of this fan lol.

[@Connectitthefancollector]

@@TheSuperFanMan i agree. Fans from the 80s are much better than today’s junk

[@TheSuperFanMan]

For sure!

@@TheSuperFanMan why does it have a number 12 bedside the off button

[@Daconthocon78]

I have multiple rebadged lasko desk fans from this time and they are still quiet. My dad ended up getting a blue galaxy desk fan from the owner who thought it was broken, but the blades were moving slow when I plugged it at home.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I have a handful of these Lasko fans as well. They were heavily inspired by Japanese fans, particularly Sanyo. I believe Lasko even used Sanyo parts in the early 70s when they began producing plastic oscillating fans. This is probably the reason why these are such quiet runners and last a long time.

[@solomonburgess8196]

That’s a very nice super Oscillation desk fan or you can use it on a nightstand office dresser shelf table.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

It sure is.

[@theanimal0256]

Love your videos

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thank you! :)

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

This fan looks nice I like the brown color scheme on these 1980s super table fans it's not clean unfortunately I can't wait for this fan to clean up

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thanks! I hope to give it a remake in the future once I have it completely restored.

[@Connectitthefancollector]

2:07 my grandparents 2000s silver lynx 12” desk fan has that same issue

[@TheSuperFanMan]

They likely took a fall off a table and the impact broke the tabs. I see fans like these from time to time.

[@Connectitthefancollector]

@@TheSuperFanMan possibly. My grandparents never cleaned it but from my memory it worked fine but I haven’t seen it run in a year or 2

[@FC70YT]

@@TheSuperFanMan at least it doesn’t just fall on the blades and damage them

[@FC70YT]

Hey I just got the Windmere DF-7 in mint condition!

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Nice! Happy to hear you got your most-wanted fan.

[@FC70YT]

@@TheSuperFanMan oh yeah this is what confuses me, I have the clip version that’s a six inch and it appears that it’s the same size, so now I’m not sure whether it’s a six inch or seven inch

[@TheSuperFanMan]

The six and seven inch fans are exactly the same dimension-wise, so they have the same motor, same grille size, same parts etc. The only difference is the blade size.

[@FC70YT]

@@TheSuperFanMan and the grille, because the one you have has a metal ring and my does not

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Yes that’s right. The ring is an extra reinforcement.

[@ThatTexanCollector]

"G16FC" knowing how to date Lasko products, Id say that's an '81 model.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thanks for the info! How do you decipher the code to find the date? Would love to know.

[@ThatTexanCollector]

@@TheSuperFanMan So on Lasko made Fans, (Lasko/Galaxy/Panasonic/Dayton/Super) they have a 5-digit number ink-printed on the bottom of the base, and the first numerical digit (the number after the letter in this case) signifies the second digit of the year, and based off the styling of the fan deciphers if its 70's/80's/90's etc. say for example, my 80's 12" Galaxy fan, its an '82 model. the number starts with "2xxxx" and it includes 80's styling so therefore, "1982". And this works on Lasko products only. The more you know!

[@TheSuperFanMan]

That’s cool, I never knew that. Thanks for the info!

[@ThatTexanCollector]

@@TheSuperFanMan Sure thing!

[@bensgoofyahhfancollection9997]

I was wondering if I can buy a fan from u for my birthday which is in January 1st for cheap🙂

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Sorry, none of my fans are for sale, let alone “for cheap”.
