1984 Hunter Original 52" Ceiling Fan

Model 25572.
Here's the oldest ceiling fan at my grandmother's Lakehouse, this 1984 1.1 Amp Hunter Original 52" in brown with Pecan blades and a bell canopy. Light kit is newer. I'm unaware yet very curious as to what this originally replaced, the bell canopy and the down rod are black while the fan is brown. This might have replaced a 1970's original. This is wired up on a GE variable light dimmer control hence why it buzzes a lot. it's been like this for over 20 years now. I check up on the oil in this every few years. This is one of the more uncommon, early '84 1.1 Amp Originals that includes the reverse switch on top, most of these that have the reverse switches on top are from early 1985. In late '85 into '86 Hunter relocated the reverse switch into the switch housing.

Love this Hunter Original although it looks like it replaced an R-52

[@ThatTexanCollector]

The Downrod and Canopy are too thin of steel to be R-52 era, their most likely from a 1970's Original.

@@ThatTexanCollector Ah That makes sense still too bad the old Original got replaced

[@ThatTexanCollector]

@@ceilingfanman3568 Yeah seriously, I bet it was cool.

[@ceilingfanman3568]

@@ThatTexanCollectorI wonder if the Canopy and Downrod are too thin for a 22046 Model Original ? That was basically an R-52 but with a different model number and those were sold until about 1971

that’s not a solid state control. It’s a dimmer. you can tell because it starts on low and goes to high. also says for incandescent lights only. originals tend to be quieter on solid state, dimmers are considerably harder on a fan, and subsequently louder. newer variac ones iirc are sorta similar to variable speed but have poor dc filtering. older dimmers are rheostats that add resistance, also not great for fans. cool dimmer though. i’d probably buy a leviton or cooper solid state control and swap it out and keep the old knob and plate.

Ah okay. and yea eventually I'll do that.
