1990s Super 12” Oscillating Fan | Initial Test Run

[@LemontTheFanMan]

Good video SuperFanMan i enjoyed it and i like the faint startup sound it has once the rattle is fixed then you can hear it .

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thanks Lemont! That's one thing I like about these late-90s Super fans. Despite the motors looking nearly identical to the earlier models, they tend to have a more pronounced start-up sound and hum when it runs.

[@LemontTheFanMan]

@@TheSuperFanMan your welcome and yes both of those are my favorite startup sounds and hum

[@Daconthocon78]

I see these on ads for sale during visits in Canada with the knob on the back model, I wish there's one with blue blades model 12 kd but that seems super hard to find.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Yeah the dark blue bladed SMC Supers are definitely harder to come by. I think they were produced in relatively small numbers in the early 90s. But certainly not impossible to find!

[@Connectitthefancollector]

The grills rattling seems to be quite common on these fans (especially if they're missing the screw at the top like that one is). Looks like it doesn't need much work as well

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Very much so. I often see these fans without the screw, either because the first owner never installed it or took it off to clean the fan at some point and didn't put it back. I think I have a small quantity of spare screws that I can use for this fan.

[@Alexander-in9mc]

where do you find these super fans?

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Just about anywhere imaginable! The Super fans I own have come from friends, family, schools, trash, local buy/sell sites, thrift stores and yard sales!

[@WadiFilmsxx]

Another one!

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Indeed! One of probably many more that I'm sure I'll continue to find!

[@Dmoney64467]

Awfully quiet this thing is.SMC did a good job making these fans

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I absolutely agree. These were among the best economy fans ever sold in my opinion, and the cool thing is that these were sold all over the world, though with different brand names. Simple, tough and reliable, with solid performance and minimal noise. Not to mention how easy it is to clean and oil. Only the best traits!

I seen one of those fans in Walmart yesterday by the lottery counter

[@fans8777]

should of gotten it, chance of them getting rid of it is high

[@TheSuperFanMan]

If it's still there, definitely see if you can ask the store manager about it! There's a chance they might let you have it. It never hurts to ask. I've gotten quite a few fans simply by asking :)

[@superfanb5742]

@TheSuperFanMan it's always been there everytime I go to Walmart

[@idkanymore2746]

Will you try to revive the Super company in the future?

[@fans8777]

not yellowed like my 1 STF12, CED 16" desk fan and my (idk what brand) 16" desk fan, Pifco 9", Pifco 16" pedestal, my Blue ice and 6 more i wont say i want to own a canadian smc fan

[@TheSuperFanMan]

These occasionally pop up on eBay, and I'm sure some sellers would ship them internationally. I'd keep an eye on eBay
