| I am seeking Vintage 3 speed 20 inch GE box fans with 5 plastic blades that run. Not ones posted on ebay because I am a frugal collector. Thank you , Tony

Hey there,new to the forum.saw your post for the GE box fan wanted.I have 2 of them.
1.a 5 blade plastic one off grey metal box frame,3 speed side mounted dial switch.Badge is about 3 inches sqaure in upper left courner with blue print on it.Badge says:GE 3 Speed.Fans is in decent shape cosmetically,it runs could use a motor cleaning up and it would be good.
2. a 3 blade metal fan,box,color,switch,motor design,everthing is the same but the badge is brown in color and in the center of the grill.cosmetically fair,runs good.
Let me know if you want pics

| I ended up finding two 20 inch vintage GE box fans with five plastic blades in the past three months, also I have three 20 inch beige GE box fan with three metal blades & two 20 turquoise box fans with three metal blades. Thank you However I am trying to find the small vintage single all metal Marvin window fans & the small vintage Kord 10 inch double/twin window fans that are mechanicly reversible with seperate on/off controlls or the 9 inch vintage Lasko window or desk fan that manually/mechanicly swivels. Thank you Tony

It runs fine.You got give a squirt of oil now and then.They get a
little noisy if you dont keep them oiled.Its a common problem
with them.Cheap bearings.Other than that it runs great.I've
used in the summer without any problems.I can send a couple
of pics if your interested.

Are you still interested in selling this? I'd like to have the big brother to the small version, which I will be getting soon.
