THE FAN BLADE CAGE MEASURES ABOUT 14" ACROSS AND THE BASE MEASURES ABOUT 8" ACROSS!ConditionVERY GOOD! FULLY TESTED! WHEN WE FIRST TESTED IT IT WAS MAKING ALOT OF NOISE PROBABLY BECAUSE IT WASN'T BEING USED OR IT HADN'T BEEN OILED FOR YEARS. WE SPRAYED SOME WD-40 ON IT AND THE NOISE WENT AWAY CONSIDERABLY. T IS A SMALL HOLE THAT READS OIL SO WE BELIEVE IF IT WAS OILED PROPERLY THE NOISE SHOULD GO AWAY COMEPLETELY BUT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A RARE OLD ITEM. EVEN IF YOU CAN'T GET THE NOISE TO GO AWAY COMPLETELY IT ISN'T TOO BAD AND IN OUR OPINION ADDS CHARACTER!(See Chart Below)Shipping$16.95!If our shipping price seems a little high, it's because we pay extra to have some of our larger items packed by a professional or we use extra packing material for very fragile items.
