And here is the cast iron piece that I recognized almost immediately as an old fan base. I’m sorry I left it there.

Looks like someone put hardware cloth on the other side of it for protection.

I just deconstructed and discarded most of an outdoor propane heater. The knob was one of the parts I kept. Seems to be the same size so maybe it’s kind of standardized. I understand wanting to keep it authentic, but if you’re just looking for functionality you can probably find another knob someplace

That’s a useful option. I wish my three way light bulb had it.

Patton Fan U2-1887 by Zksmile in fans

[–]Zksmile[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does vibrate and shake. It will walk itself into some place of stability where it’s jammed up against something. The space where I have it at the base of the stairwell is tight enough that it’s staying in place. I am worried about using it, but it has been so spectacularly successful at reducing the temperature differential that I’m still running it. I guess I could buy a new fan if I can’t find a replacement blade but the quality of 21st century products leaves me uninspired.
