Geez. Scary looking considering my kid can fit her fingers into a basic box fan …and tower fans too.

I did that with an old box fan I found on the side of the road in a garbage heap. I replaced the switch with an old 3-way toggle switch I had in the garage and it runs like a charm. It sounds like a turbine engine starting up and has amazing airflow. This was someone else's trash 35 plus years ago, and it's still going.

And to think, back then nobody would had a second thought about it being around the kids.

Don't forget to oil it.

Not a joke, checkout fan collector's pages for advice. These old motors and bearings were designed with user maintenance in mind.

I don’t have a lot of intrusive thoughts but that would change if I owned that fan

But if my own fan is anything to go by I expect that yours is also loud.

Sorry I don’t need a lesson on that buddy, you should know as well as I do. 12 years for me. Apologies for being defensive though, not my intention to take it out on you.

If you ever decide that 10 fingers is too much, this can help you!
