Is this still available?   If I could get motor running on fan, I like buy many T shirts and cut into strips.  Tie on fan front so make look strong again.  Call it macho man fan.   Wr

TRZ, I'm glad your cat is still around, but this thread is 7 years old, how healthy can he be? You'd think he'd be just hanging by a thread after all these years.

I know it says to read and save them, but if anyone needs a refresher:

My favorite: 'Disconnect fan when moving from one location to another.'

"Man, is it hot! I should keep this baby blowin' on me wherever I go... Uh, hon, could you get out that 500 foot extension cord, please?"

Ok you are not going to believe this. But today i went out to the front of my house and on my steps is a 20 inch box fan, the front cover is off and there are only 3 blades left out of 4, the cord has no end it it and it looks like its been to hell and back.. So i left it sit there on my front steps. Then i stumbled onto this thread and just read all this about a box fan.. I have to say this is quite funny, has the box fan returned?

So Kallista, are you hanging on to the fan, or is up for grabs. I was just near Ely this past weekend, could have picked it up. If it's still around during deer season, I might still be interested.

Please don't put any stickers on it. I think I'll try and restore the 20" box fan to like-new condition.

Thanks!

Nope its gone..I left it on my front steps and it walked off. Not sure who put it there but maybe they took it back? So the case of the 20 inch box fan is once again a mystery.

But i still have stickers up for grabs.. Just really weird it was there tho..

Note to self...

Stock up on broken-down, used 20" box fans... there's a definite market for them in Minnesota!

Good Luck!

Was passing the time on Main street here at Lake Iwanttobethere. I was doing some window shopping when I noticed a pale weathered orange VW van slowly driving down main street in my direction. It was all done up in painted flowers and green leaves. It reminded me a lot of my long forgotten past youth. It caught my attention not because of the loud muffler or the vast number of bumper stickers and other stickers which were covering rust spots. But it was what was in the back window as it passed me. There appeared to be a 20 inch box fan pressed up against the glass, it was missing a blade and it sent a chill down my back as I could almost hear it crying out for help. I turn to see if anyone else had seen the van and by the time I turned back it was just making a turn off main street and was gone from sight. Somehow I got that gut feeling that the fan was in some sort of trouble. I soon forgot about it till I saw mention here about a 20 inch box fan. Hmmm

Oh man you made me spit soda from my nose when i read this... I am not sure if all the stories are true about the box fan but i know mine was, and the surprise when i found this thread about it as well.. Well i guess the VW van is now listed as the box fan napper..Did you catch what state the lic plates where from.. we can do sightings reports on the last know location of the traveling box fan..

Just installed a wood stove in my garage,I need a fan for cirulation,the socks will work as hot pads or rags! so im interested in both!!Could they be shipped??Of course I dont accept dirty socks so I'd pay extra to have you wash em.By the way is one sock white with a hole in the toe??It could already be mine,in that case I'll accept it dirty but at no charge.

Doc Burriem here in town told me that he has a friend that could hook me up with one of them police sketch artists. Along with a hypnosis perhaps I could remember more about the VW van and the 20 inch box fan.

Should do it..I am hearing of other stories of missing box fans from around MN.. Someone left a note with a pic, stating they were holding some box fans ransom. Maybe someone out here can identify these fans or the where abouts of them.

Man - I saw that van when I was passing through! I thought it looked suspicious so I took what I thought was an indiscriminate photo...
