After hundreds of trips to various Goodwills with no results in finding a metal Lakewood box fan, a few weeks ago one finally surfaced. It was a Kmart branded model, in absolutely flawless condition for only $12. Sadly, it was in someone else's cart.

For whatever reason, these fans simply do not exist in this part of the country. You cannot just find one by going to a thrift store. I knew I would probably have to resort to getting one shipped in if I wanted one. Several days later, I wasn't getting over it so I decided this was the time to have one shipped in.

I looked on the EBAY, and even there they were quite scarce. There were a few available, all for obscene prices. This was the cheapest one available by a significant amount. It happened to be identical to the one I saw at the Goodwill. Unfortunately it's high hours and in pretty abysmal condition, especially compared to the other one. It will probably never be a showpiece, but with a proper cleaning and servicing it should make for a good daily runner.

The model number is still to be determined as all the information tags were too dirty to read at the time of this taping.
