I got a 16" non-osc Emerson with the big motor and a trumpet base for next to nothing the other day. Only problem is that the motor tag is missing.

I cant find any pics or mention of a fan with all these attributes. Big 4 pole motor, regular (not trunnion) mount, trumpet base, stamped hub, steel cage. Speed coil and switch looks similar to my 19646. Speeds go from off-hi-med-low.

Another thing thats pretty wild is the fact that there are holes in the motor housing for both the square style motor tag AND the older long tag! :shock:

Pics coming shortly...

Erik, my guess would be a 24 series unless the base takes a felt covered baseplate in which cast it would be a 27 series. the longer tag would have been located in the center of the motor, not behind the handle. Possibly your fan had a tag for whoever owned it like a school, company, etc. The black painted hub was last used on the 27 series with the hub being painted gold on the 29 series.

edit: careless me, I wasn't seeing that this is a non-osc. Therefore it can't be a 24 series as they were all osc. and not a 27 series either (an osc.) but the 2 series fits it well.

The base looks like a 28 series. The 26648 & the 28648 both had the later style trumpet base, but the 26648 motor is larger than the 28648 & the 26648 had the spped numbers cast into the base. The 28648 used decals. By the picture, my guess is a 28648.

Thanks for all your help guys. :up:

I do have the base cover plate and it still has remnants of green felt which I believe is original.

The speed numbers are cast into the base and the switch has a 'notchy' feel when you change speeds like my 19646. My 29646 and later Emersons have a much smoother operating switch.

Im pretty sure this fan has the bigger motor, its significantly larger than a 73648 or 29646 motor.

I guess that makes it a 26648 then?

If the numbers are cast in the base, it is a 26648.

BTW the 29series used two different switches, one was ceramic & the other was a fiber material. The ceramic felt like the older models & the fiber ones were smooth like the new ones. Best of luck on a good find, the stationary models are much harder to find than the oscillators.

I have a 26648 here with decal speed numbers.  There is a way you can nail it Erik when your motor tag is missing with an Emerson.  The type number of the fan is stamped right into the front of your rotor.  This way the boys at the factory didn't get em mixed up. :eyes  Based on the black paint on the hub and fingers, I would put my money on a 26648. :up::D

Your right on Russ, some of the 26 & 27 series had decals, but I don't think any of the 28 or 29 series did. I have never seen one if they did, how about you?

I'm sorry Stan....are you wondering if there were any 28 or 29 models with raised cast speed numbers?  As far as I know the 28-29 models were all decal numbered.

Sorry I made it clear as mud Russ, but yes, have you ever seen any of the 28 or 29 series with raised letters? It seemed it was only the early 26 & 27 series that had them.

No Stan I have not.....and feel very confident Emerson stopped with the raised cast numbers with the early run of the 27xxx series spanning from 19-20?? :wondering:

That is no BS that they have the type number stamped on the front of the rotor.

I've been told that the rotors stamped 14646 were used on several later series and still stamped 14646. True or not?

Your welcome to come here with your screwdriver and socket set and find out. :up:  I watch you and supervise. :clap:

Oh man...

My rotor has 14246 stamped on the front of it.:shock:

Could that mean its a 25 cycle fan??? It seems to run ok...

One other thing: this fan only has a 2-wire headwire. Is that unusual?

I was under the impression that on Emerson's it was Off Low Med High.

The laborers at Emerson must of like their sauce dudes. :wondering:  Are you sure your reading that number right Erik...like you sure it isn't a 14646?  You had my curiousity up so I checked my 26648 and it has a rotor stamped 19666.  The rotors I have paid attention to in past matched the type number on the tag. :?  But.....it appears they did mix them as well.  Sorry Erik.  But.......my 26648 is a 2 headwire with a tag showing 60 cycles.  :up:  Is there a 14246 type number?   Never heard of it. :wondering:
