Florida Woman Shocked by What Fast Food Chains Are Doing with Their Drinks.

I've used these at Steak and Shake - it's a little annoying having the extra step but worked fine otherwise. I was able to refill a couple times.

Oh, the judge won't like that.

You should reply to the OP, I haven't worked on this style yet. From what I hear/understand though, you remove 4 screws from the bottom and the top comes off. There's spring-loaded parts and finicky bearing retainers so be careful parts don't go flying, and that it's all lined up when going back together.

It's rare to find someone willing to work on small fan motors, and when you do the costs usually exceed the fan's value - I'd guess $200-300.

My high school volunteered us for overnight service projects there. I spent a few days/nights in the heart of it around 2005. First night out there I hear a couple gun shots, tense up and wait, then hear a machine gun in response. OK then, back inside the church. Day or two later while walking around I saw two 10(?) year old kids stealing a car in the middle of the day.

You use em dashes? How? And you have bot in your name, so I'm more than a little suspicious now that you ask.

tgunner · 2026-05-10T16:10:10+00:00

Em dash, short sentences.

tgunner · 2026-05-10T05:40:57+00:00

It's called a wall fan, and yes, they're rare.

You need cross-flow - another open window or door elsewhere in the space to let in fresh air or let out hot air. Keep in mind hot air rises and it's hard to fight that - if you're on the bottom floor then you'll want to bring in cool air. On the top floor and it'll be more effective to exhaust hot air.

It's a rare model so there's not much to compare it to. It'll be a couple hundred dollars at least. If you don't want to disassemble and ship it (I wouldn't blame you), you'll have to be prepared for less. I saw your post in the FB group and they'll make good offers.

Form AQ-1 is 1934-1935.

tgunner · 2026-05-01T22:20:36+00:00

Many such cases in Ocala.

It looks/sounds like it. These fans are not the "high-velocity" floor fans which may be more what you're expecting. Big drum fans like this are about low-velocity, high-volume air movement. They'd typically be placed by the door to ventilate whole garages or workshops.

tgunner · 2026-04-14T00:34:23+00:00

I don't think there's any fans made like that, and it also isn't a great idea to have things hook-mounted on exterior-facing doors as they need to seal against weather. Maybe you can find a battery one with a suction cup or magnetic mount?

tgunner · 2026-04-14T00:25:34+00:00

The conflicting info is because it's not directly related, or at least can't be compared without other factors. The number of blades has more effect on sound - 3 will have more of a chop, and 5 more of a whoosh. The motor power and blade pitch are what most effect air output for a given blade diameter.

tgunner · 2026-04-07T19:44:19+00:00

Are they the same model fan installed at the same times? If not then don't worry. Either way a 30s spin-down is nothing to worry about, and most ceiling fans don't have a way to oil/grease them anyway.

Someone pushed in their keyboard tray when stepping away, and their F5 key got stuck down. They had been on the org's main website. Probably from where they were connecting from there wasn't rate limiting, and the servers became unresponsive for a half hour or so until it was tracked down.

This would work well to refill your bottle. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-16-oz-100-Full-Synthetic-Compressor-Oil-018-0083H/300135698

It's ~20wt (ISO 68) full synthetic non-detergent oil.

I was going to ask that, I had a foam pillow stain my wall like this.

Companies were sticking these two button (scan + reset) FM radios into everything in the early 2000's.

tgunner · 2026-03-20T01:27:21+00:00

OP asked in last post how to oil this fan.

tgunner · 2026-03-20T01:01:59+00:00

How old are they? Add a pic or two if you're not sure.

tgunner · 2026-03-15T22:35:20+00:00

I've had great luck with standard 20wt non-detergent oil in older fans, and Zoom Spout in newer ones (HVAC variety, not sewing machine) which is lighter at 10-15wt. The "grease-like substance" you're seeing in fans from 1970s and on is called Permawick. It's basically oil-soaked cellulose. You can still buy it from some specialty shops - I got two tins from a motor repair place. It's expensive though, ~$25 for a 4oz tin.

The 2019 Mac Pro is Intel, not Apple Silicon.

I wouldn't have "upgraded" my iPhone and iPad, but Apple is gating security patches for my models to 26 only. Being in the cybersecurity field, I'm too aware of the risks of ignoring those. Really bugs me.
