Counter

Restored runners, honest project fans and original vintage components from the AFR workshop. Nothing here is anonymous shelf stock. Each machine or part is photographed, described and sold for what it actually is.

Three Ways Old Machines Find New Homes

✦

The Parts Counter is intentionally small and constantly changing. Some pieces leave the shop fully serviced. Others are preserved as honest projects, and some donate the one impossible-to-find component that saves another machine.

F

Restored & Ready

Complete fans that have been evaluated and serviced by AFR, with the work performed and operating condition clearly documented.

P

Shop Finds & Projects

Interesting original machines offered as-found or as projects for collectors who would rather put their own hands on the restoration.

⚙

Original Parts & Components

Useful period pieces salvaged from donor machines when practical: blades, guards, struts, switches, bases, motors, oscillator parts and hardware.

Available From AFR

Current Workshop Inventory

✦

Inventory appears here as pieces are photographed and cataloged. Every listing should identify condition, electrical status, price and what AFR knows about the item. Sold pieces may remain briefly as part of the shop record.

Buying Notes

No Mystery Boxes From This Counter

✦

Old machines carry scars, repairs and stories. AFR describes what is known, separates cosmetic condition from operating condition, and packs each piece according to what it actually needs.

Condition Is Described

Age, finish, patina, missing pieces, previous repairs and known faults are called out whenever they are known.

Electrical Status Is Separate

A listing will say whether a fan has been bench tested, serviced by AFR, runs as found, or is offered as an untested project.

Shipping Is Item-Specific

Heavy bases, delicate cages and brass blades do not belong in one-price shipping. Packing and shipping are quoted for the actual item.

Preservation Comes First

AFR does not erase age simply to make a machine look new. Restored items are described according to the work actually performed.

AFR ServicedEvaluated and serviced in the workshop.
Running As FoundOperates, but has not received a full AFR service.
ProjectNeeds repair, restoration or further evaluation.
Parts / DonorOffered for useful original components.

Looking for one stubborn little part?

Send the maker, model, approximate year if known, the part you need and a photograph of the fan. Even when the exact piece is not listed, there may be something useful hiding on the workshop shelf.
