I am torn on this project.
The fan cleaned up nicely and I love it as an object. The issue is that it doesn’t run as well as I had hoped.
My assumption was that after it was greased/oiled and rewired it would run like new. That is not quite the case. I can’t get the oscillation function to work and it rattles a lot more than I think it should. In addition, at higher speeds, it vibrates enough to move around the surface of whatever it is sitting on.
I’ll try attaching some rubber feet in hopes they will minimize the noise and stop the sliding issue. I’m also not sure I’d trust it to run for hours on end. I’ll perform some testing so I can come to a more definitive conclusion.
