Vintage 60s' rare KDK full automatic DE LUXE all metal 17" fan - before restoration

Описание: So here is the full overview and demo video of the rare KDK type 40DY after I got a new plug for it since the old one didn't match with the sockets. It's already been tested before filming this video and it works nicely, now all it needs is a good oil/lubrication and clean.

Fan info:

Brand: KDK (made by matsushita-panasonic)

Made in japan

Year: Late 60s' to early 70s' possibly

17"

Type 40DY

AC 220/230V

3 speeds twice in the dial (goes all the way round)

5 way oscillation



So little backstory on it: I found it online in a site with second hand stuff, it was listed at 60€ plus 25€ shipping for where I am but I had a deal for 75€ all total so I went for it! I've seen these go for way more expensive.
This thing is truly amazing and robust, also huge and moves an insane amount of air. All it needs is a proper lubrication-oiling and a good clean. The seller had it packed terribly but thank goodness it is built like a tank so nothing broke or snapped off...

Just had to get a new plug since the original didnt fit with our sockets here. The only little issue is that the 5 way oscillation doesn't work always.

This is the video before it's "restoration"
