Torcan box fans were arguably the most popular fans in Canada during the 1970s. There were many variants of them, but this particular one, with 3 speeds, square-corner grilles and a rigid handle, is one of my favourites!

Very nice! Interesting how the hub is designed to pull air through the motor for cooling. It's similar but different from the box fans sold here in the old days.

@TheSuperFanMan Месяц назад

Thanks! Yeah this is really among the very few box fans that had true propeller hub with angled fins. These Torcans don't tend to burn out easily, even with heavy dust accumulation, so the hub is probably quite effective!

Nice fan! It's unique and performs well.

@TheSuperFanMan Месяц назад

Thanks! Agreed, it's surprisingly powerful. The later Torcans with the safety grilles weren't so great in terms of airflow, but these earlier variants are stellar performers.

That is a neat little fan, kinda am excited to see the restoration before and after, haven’t seen you channel in a while, and all the new fans you have, nice to see. I finally got a RU-vid short, on my he strap fan. But by no means you collection is better than mine.

@TheSuperFanMan Месяц назад

Thanks, glad to see you again! The GE you have is really nice! You don't find many with an intact oscillator knob and good paint.

Absolutely!

I can't wait to see the after restoration video!

@TheSuperFanMan Месяц назад

Same! I think it'll turn out really good!

Very stately box fan

Is that an RMR motor on a Torcan? Can’t say I’ve ever seen that before..

@TheSuperFanMan 24 дня назад

It sure is! I had no idea Torcans were ever fitted with RMR motors. Oddly though, I’ve seen Torcan box fans fitted with all sorts of different motors before. Electrohome, Fasco, McMillan (or a lookalike) etc.
