Antique electric fans were never designed to be disposable. Built with proven engineering
standards, heavy copper windings, precision bearings, and serviceable mechanical components,
these machines can run for generations when restored correctly.
At Winding Workshop, we specialize exclusively in the repair and restoration of antique and
vintage electric fans, with a particular focus on motor rewinding, electrical safety, and
mechanical balance. Every fan is evaluated individually, repaired using period-correct
methods where appropriate, and tested for reliable daily operation.
We offer local Georgia service & nationwide mail-in antique fan repair for collectors,
homeowners, and museums seeking careful, technically correct restoration rather than cosmetic shortcuts.
Our restoration philosophy is simple: preserve the history, perfect the mechanics. We don't just make them look pretty; we make them safe and functional for the next 50 years.
Complete rewiring with period-correct cloth-covered wire. We perform insulation resistance testing and stator coil inspection to prevent short circuits.
Total teardown of the oscillating gearbox. We remove decades of hardened grease, inspect the worm gears, and re-lubricate with modern high-temp synthetic oils.
Bent blades cause vibration and motor wear. We use precision balancing techniques to ensure your fan runs whisper-quiet at all speeds.
From high-gloss automotive grade paint to hand-polished brass blades, we restore the aesthetic to your exact specification.
The laboratory is equipped to perform technical resurrections on specimens from the following legacy manufacturers:
Every fan is unique. Contact the laboratory today for a preliminary diagnostic quote.
