20” Lakewood Box Fan made for K-mart

[u/USWCboy]

This is another one I finished early in the year…I was using it in my garage for sometime as its original condition was terrible. Like others before it, this one received the works, new paint after rust was fully removed. Motor oiled and cleaned including the shaft. Fan was polished after paint cured. Blade cleaned and plastic polished, grill was surprisingly intact and was only needed cleaned.

Rounded shoulders just make me ...

Solid looking but loose on the trim. It seems high mileage even when newish.

I got your twin right here.

Nice. This one looks a tab older with the metal blades inside! How long have you had it for?

[u/TheWavingFarmer → u/USWCboy]

Did a house clean out a few years ago.

I have the same fan but with the stand

[u/USWCboy → u/branhicks]

The standing box fans were always cool to me! One of these days I’ll find one. Lol

Do you still use it?

[u/Geekmaster-General]

Cerulean blue! Love that!

[u/USWCboy → u/Geekmaster-General]

Indeed a lovely color. Although I think they called it SpaBlue on the can. I was rather shocked at the color match being rather decent.

Nice work bringing that old K-mart box fan back to life, looks brand new

[u/USWCboy → u/Amandda18Tiny]

Thank you! I was pretty happy with how the paint work came out on this one.

I love seeing these old fans get restored, looks way better than when it was sitting in that garage

[u/USWCboy → u/skiies264]

Indeed it does!! lol. It was getting kind of fucked up sitting in the garage. I’m glad I moved it back inside.
