Vintage GE General Electric 17 Industrial Shop Fan Tested Working 5KH43AB708

  
Large vintage industrial shop fan equipped with a General Electric motor marked Model 5KH43AB708. Measuring approximately 21 inches exterior cage; blade app. 17, this substantial all-metal fan has the rugged utilitarian appearance associated with vintage workshop, barn, garage, and commercial equipment.

Its oversized design and authentic aged finish also make it an excellent industrial décor piece for a workshop, garage, retail display, photography studio, restaurant, or vintage-themed space. The fan has been tested and is working. It powers on, the blades rotate, and it produces strong airflow. The number 5KH43AB708 appears on the General Electric motor identification plate. It may identify the motor rather than the complete fan assembly.

Please review the photographs of the motor plate, frame, blades, guard, controls, wiring, and overall construction for additional identifying details. Includes the fan shown in the photographs only. Good pre-owned vintage condition with visible cosmetic wear consistent with age, workshop use, and storage. The metal housing, cage, blades, frame, finish, hardware, cord, and controls may show scratches, surface oxidation, paint loss, discoloration, dust, residue, dents, or other age-related wear. Testing was limited to confirming that the fan powers on, runs, and produces airflow. It has not been professionally serviced, restored, disassembled, or tested continuously for an extended period. One piece of cage is missing on top; several have come disconnected from outside ring. Still some grease and grime but we got most of it off.

Because this is vintage electrical equipment with rapidly rotating metal blades, it should be operated carefully and kept away from children, pets, loose clothing, and unattended areas.
