Reviving And Running Fans From A Hoarder House

Update on the fans
Tatung pedestal fan - Dead
Galaxy 9” fan - Bearing’s need work
GE strap fan - Still works perfectly fine
GE twin window fan - still seized solid after drilling oil ports and oiling it
Rare Lakewood P-223 - runs perfectly fine now
1978 Kmart K-223 - still makes that loud buzzing noise and I think the blade is spinning on the shaft.

Looks like some good finds from a hoarders house. They all could use some cleaning and oiling to get back in working order. Then that blue Kmart Lakewood sounds like the motor needs to be re-varnished. Whenever it buzzes upon starting up, it means the original varnish is worn and there may potentially be some loose windings that need to be tightened up. Jordan U has done re-varnishing to a couple of his fans that he has.

That tatung stand fan looks rare to me and seems like late 80's or early 90's because of the knob on the back.
