It's bulk pick up time in my neighborhood and my Dad alerted me to a "ceiling fan with a long pole" just a few houses down the road....I excitedly hurry out and I find this beauty!
I AM SO EXCITED!

Holy batman! Nice find!

Good job for keeping that one out of the trash! Some people just don't know what they are throwing away.

I lost this fan when I was in your neighborhood.  Thanks for taking good care of it.  Now send it back to me ASAP.

Today I mounted this up outside to test working condition, works great except medium doesn't function, probably why it was replaced

That fan likely does not have a medium. I have some that the switch function is off-hi-off-low-off.

Really?  Hmmmm that's weird, but I've seen stranger things so I guess it's logical

Look and see if you have a 3rd wire coming out of the fan.  I'd thing with the moon shaped brackets that would still be a 2 speed.

I forget the color but  coming out of the fan is hi=blue, low=red and white=neutral.

Well if it is actually a two speed, it's pretty easy to convert to three speed. All ya need is a three speed switch and a capacitor.

It doesn't work on medium because it's depressed and misses its rightful home.  Now send me the freakin' fan!!
