Here we have two weird and wonderful Orli heaters, made in Ottowa. Judging from the colors, they have to have been from around the late 1950s-early 1960s. Both are in excellent working condition.
The yellow one can be used as a fan or as a forced-air heater. The turqoise one is just a forced-air heater, you cannot turn the heating coil off. I actually used these daily in my office for several years before I laid myself off, especially the yellow one, as it could be used as a fan in the summer, heater in the winter; both run virtually silently.
Some of the more desirable features are:
1. Total lack of a tip-over switch, so if they get knocked over, they'll keep running and catch the house on fire if you're not around. If you return to your place of residence in time, you'll be able to keep warm from the burning house until it's time to be taken to the Salvation Army center.
2. Tab-foot base, so sought-after by fan collectors worldwide. In this application, see Feature 1 for extra utility of the base design.
3. Future increase in value is absolutely guaranteed, as it is obvious they are the urPacman. An-tech collectors will go wild over these.
Let's say $40 for the pair, plus shipping, shall we?
You want the Daddy-fan in the background, too, you say? Make it $65 plus shipping for all three. Daddy is just a fan, suprisingly powerful for its size.

Okay, the two heaters are sold, leaving the Big urPacman fan alone. $20 plus shipping and it's yours. Switch is on the back, it's just a nut on a stud. I guess the original knob broke off somewhere along the line. I got it the way it is now, although I cleaned it up and oiled it. It works great, moves more air than you would expect, and won't burn the house down if it tips over, since it's not a heater.
