For sale is an antique Emerson 27048 Ball Motor DC Fan. I tested it with a bridge rectifier and it did not run, it just made a slight humming sound. After that I plugged it in on AC for about 5 seconds, but the result was same. Blade Turns freely by hand. Currently there is not a cord / rectifier on it. Fan has some other issues. The gearbox wheel that connects to the arm is broken, the arm and screw are fine though (pic 4). Cage is in very poor condition, is missing one “S” wire, several others have broken welds or have already been repaired. Cage Badge is dented. One strut is missing the screw that connects it to the motor. The neck / knuckle is missing one screw that connects it to the base (pic 3). Fan is very dirty, I have wiped some of it off, but needs further cleaning. Fan has paint splatter through out the fan.
