Yep, I bought myself a newer iteration Uchida 'Century' industrial, a fan that I honestly don't really like because of how the blades look. I'm still actively looking for the previous, or maybe first iteration of the 48", & 56" Uchida//Alaska//Maspion 'Century' industrial, specifically the ones with the triangular logo on the center medallion, but I bought this one because...
I'm going to be using it in another customization project!
I have a 90's curved tip blade ceiling fan waiting in line for restoration, and it's going to be a hard one. I wanted to change its color, and because I want to see how the color will turn out on a ceiling fan, I decided to first try painting a fan that I don't really care about, and that's what this Uchida 'Century' is for!
And because spraying a new paint color to a fan and calling it done won't be fun to me, I will be adding some new touches to the motor, & fan blade, which will hopefully make it look more eye-pleasing than the original form of the fan.
As for the story of how I got my hands on this fan, no I'm not stupid enough to buy this fan brand new for about 40 USD to just use it in a single experiment then sell it or install it somewhere. I bought this fan slightly used at a ridiculously cheap price. It's the only cheap medium quality ceiling fan I can find at the time of purchase, and I'm quite happy that I got this one, instead of the 'Millenium' model, or other brand of fans. You'll see the reason why once this project is finished.
