This is a video of the old display of ceiling fans from my collection that I had set up in my garage from circa 2007-2010. There were 17 fans installed total, all completely functional in their respective locations. This video shows them on low and high, as well as the spin down time for most of them. Some continue to spin past the amount of memory left on the card I was using at the time.
Shown from the start: Hunter Mayfair, GGC Fan Co., Supreme "Emperor", View Fan, JC Penney Moss, Thomas Industries T-3, CEC Spinner, Palm Air Pacific Breeze, Evergo "Banana Fan", Hampton Bay St. Claire, Evergo Spinner, Halsey? Emperor, SMC DC-42 (back), Moss WF Series, Homestead WIND II (back), Air Cool Footprint Vent, SMC Laguna (back).
Thank you SO much for the 2 MILLION+ views on this video! You have made so many things possible for me by watching, I can't thank you enough.

2 MILLION VIEWS!! I can't believe how many people still watch and love this video a decade later.

[@NickTubeFans]

Congrats! I remember this video from years ago when I first started watching KZbin!

[@Newussd227]

Vintage Fans & More, we all do

[@theceilingfanhub4484]

Congratulations! I remember the first time.i watched this was around 2009-2010!

[@vfandm]

There was a lot that I loved about having my fans in the garage, especially the number I could fit there, but it eventually came down to the climate control. In just a short time I could see the effects of temperature changes and humidity on some of them with finish deterioration and warping blades. I wanted them to be in good condition for years to come, so they had to come inside.

[@AshTheVirginiaFanGuy]

Congrats!

[@ltg6686]

This was one of my favorites as a child

[@donnchamccauley9470]

Remember watching this as a child. How nostalgic

[@Depuley_DINGLILIGHTING]

I love these retro ceiling fans, they represent those good old days of our childhood.

[@TramTrafficLightMan]

The three still spinning ceiling fans took so long that even the garage light gave up

[@margaretchambers1487]

My 5 year old son is disabled and has very limited speech. One of his only words is 'fan'. He absolutely loves ceiling fans. I cannot describe the joy on his face when you turned the fans on. He sat, engrossed until every fan stopped spinning. Thank you so much for sharing your collection!

[@vfandm]

I am happy to hear that! I receive comments like yours often and they absolutely make my day, I'm so glad he enjoyed.

[@mszzsm1365]

I love that 5-blader...... it really stands out in the crowd

[@neilonicko1]

I remember some of those fans from when I was a kid, I use to see them in restaurants in stores some of them bring back memories..

[@kaysonthefancollector8826]

Thank you cole for making this special video for us!!! You make our childhood great watching your videos!

[@AshTheVirginiaFanGuy]

I remember that this is the very first video that I’ve ever watched on your channel. So nostalgic….

[@oppositeofh8]

your videos are my son's favorite, as well. he discovered them a while ago but he never tires of 'em. he just turned five & has been a big "fan guy" for a couple years, now. he's starting a collection -- like all his heroes on youtube. ha! thanks again, mpsslovak, for the entertainment & bargaining power (if you're not a good boy, no fan videos!).

[@nothinghere9476]

The fact i still remember that this video was only months old 😭

[@shenmackenzie3600]

Dopest setup I've ever seen, fan hard bro.

[@vfandm]

Yes, the variable speed knobs were a great feature in their time of popularity. I've clipped knuckles a few times, especially with Casablanca fans lol. It was nice at the time, now I have just a few industrials out there instead of this display but it's still a wicked breeze regardless.

[@neilofrankjr]

some of these fans were in arcades and stores on the jersey shore boardwalks like wildwood or seaside heights, a lot of memories with these fans!!!

[@vfandm]

Glad this reminded you of those fans. I've of course seen hundreds of pictures of fans from numerous boardwalks, there was always quite a variety of amazing fans.

[@TheFanlover27]

10 years omg!!!

[@seth6525]

I LOVE FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheFanlover27]

TEN YEARS IS COMING!!!!!

[@camthetornado]

Lots of fans here I recognize here from the 1980's and early 1990's. A lot of these I saw as a child growing up in that time frame. I really like the emperor type as well as the spinner type fans in your display

[@darcyplayz2478]

i remember watching this a a kid

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

And I'd like to say thank you so much for this video. This is 1 of the best video on KZbin in my opinion, and I added it to my favorites. This is pretty much the only video I can find on KZbin with 17 fans in the same room on low and high. By the way, I first discovered this video about 3 years ago.

[@torythefanman]

Everytime i see this video it reminds me of the old store displays that Walmart,Kmart etc use to have..And i love it.

[@widsquard]

I saw this video i think when i was 8. Cool stuff. If i own my own house one day i wanna to this to the garage.

[@Perich29]

celling fans are beautiful machine

[@sharonvescera5815]

I haven't watched it ever but after I watched it it was amazing

[@jevongibson2271]

that big fan looks awesome in fast mode

[@James-4812]

Wow! You are COOL in every way possible! I must say you have done a very good job installing those fans, I have seen many ceiling fans in restaurants/shopping malls that wobble violently, your fans don't seem to do this.

[@tomaserincasablancalarocqu5086]

Man, this video has been on KZbin Forever, I remember watching it.

[@d3fault1420]

i remember watching this when i was rly young lol

[@danielchapa2112]

Thank you, much appreciated, I’ll check it out.👍🏼

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

The fans with blades above the motor are called "top mount". The black shiny one is Homestead Wind II.

[@JacobMandujano-f5t]

I love fans so much!

[@JonasClark]

What a wonderful display!! A hardware store's fan cloud, but filled with only the coolest stuff. That AB Fasco in the 2nd row is calling my name, especially with its atmospheric-looking slow speed... That'll be next on my list to find.

[@saras3895]

I LOVE that fan at 0:10!

[@ZappingHero]

I can see that the Homestead Wind II is almost stopping at 6:22. I wonder how many minutes for the Thomas Ind. to stop spinning (right after the end of the video)?

[@Ceiling_fans_in_Georgia-xv5yr]

These are great fans that you had in your garage maybe you could have them where you do your fans now

[@vfandm]

Several of these have already made the rounds on the new display. It can't be recreated in full because I no longer have some of what's shown.

[@vfandm]

Thank you. Only took a matter of a couple years to get all these, and this wasn't all of them at the time either. There was a point when I was getting one literally every week, so you can see how they'd pile up quickly.

[@ryanthefanguy9060]

I’ve watched this video a lot when I was a kid

[@MinerTheElectrician]

I remember this video.. Ahh I used to watch this video a lot when I was younger before I started youtube

[@fanmanandrew1586]

Wow! So many Golden Oldies! Love them! Especially the big Moss Fan That mounts blades on top of the motor and is without a light. Lol it reminds me of my very first fan, My Tatung! Great Video!

[@minecraftstorymodefan6652]

I watched this video when I was little!

[@ceilingfansclocksminecraft1226]

Me too!

[@lachlanslightsandfans]

Same

[@js89u96]

Watched when I was 1 when it first came out

[@Jaygamer553]

These 17 ceiling fans are my favourite ceiling fans I wish I had them

[@9283CJs]

A lot of different bands and a lot of fans good job putting them up

[@WatchKek]

I like the one with the blades above the motor, and the black shiny one behind it.

[@TheFanlover27]

Wow 12 years. I remember watching this in like 2011 when I learned how to spell “fan” and type it into KZbin. Time really flies.

[@vfandm]

I do all of my fan installs myself, even ran all that conduit and the wires.

[@vfandm]

Most of them. The CEC spinner has been boxed up pending sale for like two years, View Fan has been on edge pending sale, and the SMC DC-42 was sold to BlueStreak440 some time ago.

[@VisionlightTV]

celling fans are beautiful, i like it.

[@Perich29]

There beautiful machine.

[@ThomasTheFanGuy31]

This is one of my favorite videos on KZbin. Thank you!

[@Dafanmon2500]

Sick! I love a huge convoy of vintage ceiling fans

[@jeremiahhernandez361]

Those fans maybe classics but they sure look like they can still throw down some good cool air

[@willpower3544]

i definetly wana see more spinners and industrials in the current display! :)

[@vfandm]

Ceiling fans I started in maybe 2007, was full on collecting by 2008. I have some 180 ceiling fans, that includes incompletes/non functionals, but does not include anything I've had in the past or sold, so it's probably more like at least 200 fans have been in my possession up to now.

[@vfandm]

That is the Thomas Industries, and the slow speed in completely normal. It has a variable speed control that slows it WAY down, but it also goes SUPER fast on high speed.

[@CeilingFans4UrLife]

I wish you had a NuTone Scovill Sea Island in your garage.

[@apfanco]

Wow, this is just amazing how far you've come. Great work keep up the good content. :)

[@JJP_SirenProductions06]

I remember watching this when I was little!

[@anthonyd.bervano1946]

They look so old but I love those fans bro! I love this video so much!!!

[@vfandm]

The chain sequence on most fans is high/medium/low, thus three pulls to get to low to show it first. I would think that would be pretty straight forward.

[@PooleSilly]

wow i'd love to just move into that place!!!!!!!! all those fans!!!!!! must be such a nice breeze!!!!!!!!

[@vfandm]

Read the description, it lists them all in order now. For the record I don't own any Dayton fans as of now.

[@CeilingFans4UrLife]

Really love your palm air and moss wf top spinners

[@vfandm]

The little antique brass 42" one with stencil on the blades? I love that one too. It's a Moss relabeled for JC Penney.

[@TomboyTrouble64]

You're gonna hit the 2 million view milestone

[@MetalPete_the_metalfan]

Happy New Year to you. Every time I watch this it reminds me of us all at the Fanimation museum running all the fans on high and doing a spin down race and we bet on which will stop first and which will stop last.

[@vfandm]

Will do. I like it a lot too, it spins SO FAST! It's almost scary to turn it on high.

[@zanzalot]

This is my nightmare. lol. I'm scared of ceiling fans if there are too many in one room, if they're low-hanging, or if they wobble like hell. xD

[@TomboyTrouble64]

My mom thinks my garage will look like this. She even tells her friends how I love watching your videos

[@LesVentilateursduQuebec]

Now you have a row of more. In your other garage videos I count 14 fans and now 17. The row with the two SMC and Homestead is additional. You clear some thing in your garage to make more room? I remember you said you can't do videos longer than about 6mins but it would have been cool to show the medium speed on all too. It must have been long and took a lot of effort and patience to move all theses fans.

[@Werewolfmage]

working in that garage in the summer must be cool

[@pocketdrummer84]

good lord!!!! this is a nice yiew of vintage fan!!!

[@mszzsm1365]

that is one breezy garage........ BTW u must have had a lot of fun installing all those fans

[@lovelyshadow8378]

This video is awesome! And thanks for the nostalgia.

[@vfandm]

I posted about the FPV when I first joined VCF. I don't know exactly what it is, but I'm guessing Palm-Air, Moss, or King of Fans, as those brands have some of these parts. Yes, the Emperor is the detachable switch housing one. Yeah, the WF still makes that noise. I fixed the bearings, but it still makes that weird vibrating noise.

[@greglovesfans6632]

I wish I had a garage like this one

[@ZappingHero]

By the way,this video rocks,because of a lot of ceiling fans in one garage,the garage industrials video also rocks too. :D

[@ZappingHero]

I just now realized, that 5-bladed fan (shown at 0:35), I actually have one that's like it (which I've had for about less than 2 years), except it's bright brass color & had a typical 4-arm light-kit with a center light with it.

[@jacobisworld9516]

How Many Fans Do You Have Total.

[@vfandm]

Hundreds. I do not have a count at this time.

[@Bru1sedhe4rtss]

I LOVED THIS VIDEO SO MUCH!

[@lahnab1212]

I like all of your fans

[@cjtucker4451]

That’s one super cool garage lol.

[@vfandm]

At the Habitat for Humanity Restore, that's for most of them. Others came from the trash, other collectors, and other types of reuse stores.

[@1248-g1n]

nice fans

[@lukea.6298]

That is SURE to keep the flies away!

[@vfandm]

I had to take it down to make room for the new stuff. It'll be back up someday.

[@vfandm]

The one with the funky shaped blades? Evergo Banana Fan.

[@landonochel8765]

I like your ceiling fans in the garage

[@vfandm]

Glad to hear it. If it's important I live in ND.

[@dspiffy]

Doing my part to get this up to 1,000,000!

[@vfandm]

Glad to hear it as always. Make sure you take him to thrift stores and resale places, you can get better quality fans for lower prices than stores. If you're worried about used fans, don't be, because they're fine and completely safe... I just know that's sometimes a concern with parents. So yeah, get him the good used stuff instead of the new throw away junk made today if you can help it. :-)

[@Fanx90]

Wow! I love this video with all the ceiling fans installed in it!

[@guilhermoferreira7275]

oh lord... i remember watching this when i was a kid,im still 12 btw.

[@A_Valuable_Onion]

The old man from the movie UP should have thought of this

[@EPSILON120]

Looking back on this vid, makes me deeply curious to know how this was all wired up and how they were all interconnected. I do see they were all connected via EMT, I mean circuit-wise. I would find it hard to believe that all 17 fans would be on one single circuit, heh. In terms of powering on and off, were they all simply connected to one switch or disconnect? Did you happen to use a contactor?

[@vfandm]

This is as simple as it gets, nothing fancy and certainly didn't pay anyone to do it. All one circuit, all plugged into the two porcelain sockets of the original two ceiling lights, using plug socket adapters and lamp cords. All on the single switch that controlled the two lights. I started putting this together myself at age 13 or 14 with little knowledge of code and absolutely no concern for it. Just made it work with whatever I could put together most easily. Mainly did the conduit because I've always just liked the look of conduit systems, but it also kept the absolute mess of wiring visually tidy, and the boxes made it easy to swap the fans out without making tons of holes in the wood (as I'd done a lot before). A lot of the same functional considerations that went into my new display, but I did the new one to code with loading broken up on multiple circuits, proper romex wiring, etc.

[@vfandm]

Yes, we took the bikes that were there down. I had the boxes and electric there, but the bikes were in the way. I also added one box there where the Laguna is. Moving them isn't too bad, it's been a work in progress for a month or two now.

[@vfandm]

Lol, precisely why I didn't ever run them like this frequently.

[@CampanasGaspatxeras.]

My favourite ceiling fan is the light blue.

[@vfandm]

Right, I'll let you know if I decide to get rid of it.

[@nanettewheeler7552]

My favorite ceiling fan is all of them

[@SkyKitten1]

i love the one at 0:05 nice fans
