Classic 52' Panama Fan Co Gear-Driven Ceiling Fan (Custom)

This one I've been hunting down for years. Any fan collector wants a rare fan that isn't made or sold anywhere and is hard to find. However, I was only able to receive the motor by itself. I won the motor on Ebay out of five other people. The rest of parts were not included unfortunately. I was still psyched but had to find/make custom parts to fit the fan and its style. The wobble was the most significant problem the fan had despite the rattling from the gears. I was able to adjust the wobble but couldn't do much about the gears. The fan isn't quite a useful piece but it makes a great decorative and collector's item and I'm lucky to even own the motor on its own.

It's amazing to think that it uses a tiny c-frame shaded pole motor, and it's got enough torque to spin that fast!

DANM THATS FAST. If only Panama Fan Co. Would make it quieter.

I wonder how many YouTube videos of this fan there are now? I kinda lost track on how many of them (lol).




Pretty cool and interesting looking fan too, I also like the Disco ball that's hung on the ceiling in the background, and the top side of that fan at 2:03 looks pretty cool too. :)

It’s the fastest one I’ve ever seen. Also having it on speed 1 is exactly the same as on/off switch on so there is no way it will destroy the motor more than just on/off switch.

That is a gorgeous fan and the blades are nice and they match ❤

Believe me I don’t want to sleep with this fan running

[karmore]

[AlextheMLAATRfan]

I would never wanna have that fan in my bedroom for my future home.

[gavinfout]

This fan sounds like a washing machine.

The blades on the gear driven that it look like hunter r&m original ceiling fan blades

Had you tried it on speed 1? It would be a bit slower. Capacitor based wall control can speed up shaded pole motor, some had tried capacitor based wall control on shaded pole Original set to low (it has separate windings for high and low, so basically separate motor), and it made it go faster. But speed 1 is exactly like on/off switch on.

3:38 did anyone notice the mount was moving

[jakeojenkinstollroadgod]

Nice fan A lot of those kind of ceiling fans are noisy and wobbly and they all have 1 speed they don’t sell those anymore because people want ceiling fans that they spin fast!

[MichanaAlerting]

That buzzing is TERRIFYING since this is about doublw the speed these things are supposed to run at. Its probably hurting the motor

[fansandvintage]

We used to have one of these at my grandmas cabin but it was way too noisy

[kareemwilliams]

What type of ceiling fan is this this fan is gonna fall down if it's spins like this

[doctorfeinstone]

I've seen several of these on YouTube, yours is by far the fastest. And with all that extra weight. Also thats not the original box. So that name is probably whatever was in the box before the fan

[isaac]

It doesn't sound right. I don't know if I would put it on a 4 speed control though. I do think the different blades/brackets are taking a toll on the motor, because it sounds like it's scratching (like when it starts up). Also, that down rod doesn't look safe LOL! (It looks like a piece of string holding the fan.)
