The "O" in the serial Number means that it was an Oscillator fan that the tag originally came from, the AC OR DC with the voltage means its a universal motor fan.
Just a little heads up.
"Not the correct tag indeed, but works well considering this fan barely resembles a stock 150."
I COULD, and would be neat, file the serial # off and punch "Glam Clam" in that spot, or my name. Would be a neat final touch maybe?
Got it on the "to-do" list for my week off! :)
Thinking about it, should also stop anyone in the future from thinking a model 150 has a similar serial to a staggy.
The Clam parts are so hard to find it is ridiculous. One of the reasons I had to rewind the stator. Guess fans that run so violently fast aren't going to hold up all that well. At least the diode has her tamed a bit. Still oddly fast. The R&M 3500s run like that, but with a better lubrication system and lighter stamped 1-piece blades. I have a Western Electric rebadge of a 3500. Used the same diode in the DC switch position. 2 speed, with the diode really taming that fan.
