42” Encon Traditional Ceiling Fan

Recorded on October 27th, 2025.

This fan is in White finish, has 5 White blades, it has 3 lights light kit, it has 2 40w clear incandescent light bulbs, it has a 60w clear incandescent light bulb, it has a cheap brass fob painted in white on the light, it has an original Encon pull chain on the fan, and this fan is from April 1996.
The blades are reversible, they are White and Knotty Pine.
This is a 5 blades or 4 blades fan.

Parts that are not original to this fan: Mounting bracket, hanger ball, capacitor, 1 socket, light chain switch, and the cheap fob on the light.
The original mounting bracket is at the teachers house on the ceiling so I’m using a temporary mounting bracket for this fan.
The original hanger ball was too small to fit on a newer black mounting bracket so I had to use a different one for this fan.
The capacitor is new because the old one was bad.
A few years ago, the original socket was burned up so they had to replace it into a new one, and not too long ago that socket broke so they had to replace it again with a new one.
Also they had to replace the light chain switch into a new one because the original one broke (btw this is the only fan in the teachers house that’s on a single switch and the rest of the fans in that house are on a separate switch).
The cheap fob on the light came with the new light chain switch and it was on a string before but I converted it into a chain for a better look.

This fan is from the same teacher at my school with the Litex New Orleans. This fan is from her house and it’s from her daughter’s bedroom. I got this fan because they wanted me to put a remote on this fan. I also discovered that it also has a bad capacitor because high speed was slow and it’s the same speed as medium. Her dad took this fan down and the teacher gave this fan for me to restore it. This fan is not original to the house because it was brought a few years after the house was built. I cleaned this fan really well because it was a little bit dusty before and replaced the capacitor in there. This fan is now restored and it looks like brand new. The teacher and her daughter are very happy of how this fan turned out!

This is the 2nd out of the 4 fans that I’ve restored for the teachers house.
