Caribbean Electric Ceiling Fan

Caribbean Electric 52" ceiling fan in antique brass. Not a lot of indication with this one; only sticker says "Manufactured By Caribbean Electric Inc.", model C-528. It was fairly clean and looked well taken care of, but the original owners probably never used it considering the noise! Motor could definitely do with an adjustment. I hadn't even applied power before assembling it all together, otherwise I might have attempted some intervention beforehand, but since it was already up I wasn't going to not record the video. If I get back around to it and make progress, I will do a new video. Really, a lot of the noise is vibration through the metal and blades when it hits the bad spot. That aside, it's a pretty decent performer despite the skinnier blades. Looks like probably a 188mm motor of some form, stamped steel construction, but definitely sizable. I hate that it has the hugger style drop-down arms; I understand their function on huggers, but stylistically speaking I really don't like how they look on ANY fan. Paired with the skinny blades, not my favorite fan in terms of appearance, but I do like the kind of weirder details of all the motor components. I have a bit of a collection niche now with a few of these odd mid-late 80s GE vent variants. Nothing standout or particularly interesting, but just each with their own little details that make them a little weird, and therefore interesting by proxy. If this had been in any worse condition, I probably would've immediately parted out, so at least it's in pretty nice shape physically.
