I wasn't originally planning on going for it but in the end I couldn't resist the call of the elusive 3-wing vornado window fan on ebay...so I went for it...and I got it!
http://cgi.ebay.com/VORNADO-Huge-18-WINDOW-FAN-27-x-26-Frame_W0QQitemZ140249669054QQihZ004QQcategoryZ4037QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It looks in fair shape, original paint, no noticeable dings or scratches other than the norm...with a good cleaning it should be sweet!

I believe its a O.A Sutton the motor is the same as the ones on their table fans. Also the Two Guys Vornados are a light brown and use GE motors (well some of them)
Here is an example of a Two Guys model.

Two Guys Vornado fans were not necessarily consistent, they were made my different manufacturers and rebranded
Here's mine, which appears to have been made by Manning Bowman
Here's one that was on ebay...which I want now but didn't bid on...

| Yarr... I could have bought it and traded it. =P Eh oh well, I hope I find a Vornado 5 winger to go along with a Hunter I might get.

Honestly I wouldn't have traded for this one...my 5-wing is very special to me (especially now...)

I'm 99% sure it was made by frigid...it was just one I had a picture of
I've seen various Two Guys Vornado fans over the yrs...mainly by Manning Bowman and Frigid...they did reproduce the classic Vornado as well...their version was but ugly...I haven't got a picture of it...

| Frigid did indeed make that box fan with 5 wings. I have seen many of them. I am 100% positive that it is the Two Guys model.

| Are you going to make a video of that window fan? It is the coolest Vornado I have seen yet.
