Hunter Original 52" ceiling fan in brushed nickel. This fan recently came down off of the display (you'll see vlog updates eventually), so again it's best timing to get this video out of the way before going into storage. This is and always will be among my top favorites of fans I own. Production didn't last long, so they're not the easiest to find, and I think this finish in particular really spoke to the evolution of the Original in the early 2000s. It's in pretty good shape aside from some finish issues with the blades and some scratches here and there, but I'd still love to find one truly new in box at some point just to have a near-perfect example. Evidently the switch cap was also homemade to match as closely as possible, so again it's not quite perfect. Unfortunately this is one of my loudest Originals as far as hum is concerned. I've tried adjusting the stator a bit without taking the whole thing apart, since misalignment can be a contributor to excessive motor noise, but I haven't resolved anything with that so far. I've kind of just let it be for now, because at some point I need to do an entire disassembly and cleaning, as there's a slight rough spot in the rotation. Not sure if it's a bearing issue itself, or just something obstructing inside the oil cup. Nothing's been a big priority because the fan doesn't get much run time, it runs ok basically just for the display videos I've done the last couple years, and has not presented any compounding issues that I was worried about. But I figure I'll do an entire service at whatever point I have some time, rather than try to do one or two non-critical things at a time.
