I like old desk fans too! 30's brass ones. I have yet to buy one but I thought my sister would love one restored. She is very hard to buy for. I had a collection of Predator carbs too (anything under $100 I would snap up) but after trying to run any one of them on the street, I rebuilt, polished them and flipped them. $$$ Dang, I got 6 laptops and 8 digital cameras too....help!
