Vintage Tatung Desk Fan LC-12 Released 1977 - Working But Needs Adjustment
Thanks for looking
If you're reading this then you'll already know exactly what you're looking at
Please take a moment to read the description all the way to the end - this works but I think it needs a screw tightened (intermittent buzzing sound).
The fan in the photos is the one that you'll recieve. It was made in 1977 by a Taiwanese company called Tatung. At the time a decent, midrange desk fan. Probably not a terribly exciting item back in the 70's.
However, now its such a cool item it's difficult to explain! It has that typical 70's shaped body but what.makes it stand out is the chrome wiring over the bright blue translucent fan blades. Most were/are white. Not sure why they added this feature - totally unnecessary expense on their part but half a century down the road it looks absolutely amazing!
Now the important part!
The fan fully operates - everything works and it's surprisingly powerful despite its small size. However, sometimes when you switch it on, it makes a loud buzzing noise. This is the blades catching on a bit of the chrome cover (not causing any damage - just the noise). When you push the center of the front inward it goes away and works normally again until next time you switch it on - this means either the fan bit or the metal wire isn't secured properly as there are no dents or bends in the wires. Probably needs the wire taken off and a holding screw is lose. I hope this all makes sense!
Other than that there are no issues. The fan is in outstanding cosmetic condition for something five decades old. No cracks, no scuffs, no missing parts, no signs of wear - if you want it just as a display item it looks so cool it'll easily get a 10/10. Once you get it working properly it'll go up to 11/10!
I price checked this - there aren't many around but the two I found are for sale at £90 and £130 respectively. Obviously, this needs a bit of work on your end so I've reduced the price to less than 50% of trending.
Oh - it measures 20 (height) x 15 (width) x 12 (depth) in inches
