Some people were talking so first half has no audio, and 2nd half has audio cut out in many parts (generally, I would mute audio on whole video, but I wanted to show how pull chain is not working properly).

This fan is located in a bedroom at my friend's house. It is made in China. It is controlled by a 3-speed Lutron Rotary wall control. It replaced a 1979 SMC Laguna, which is in my collection now. The pull chain seems to be defective and having problems, like I sometimes had to pull it more than once to change the speeds. Like most skeletal Hunter Originals, it spins too fast on factory low. It runs silent, wobbles a bit, and blows tons of air with 210mm X 20mm skeletal spinner motor (and more air than SMC Laguna ever did). This fan is shown on all 3 wall control speeds, as well as all 3 factory speeds.

Story behind this fan: I first saw this same fan in Lowes display back in late 2012 or early 2013. And I thought I would never see it running. And it was still there the last time I was there, which was months ago. And when I looked through the window of my friend's house at the room where my SMC Laguna used to be, I saw a black Hunter Original! And when I asked where he ordered this fan from, he said he got it from Lowes (same Lowes I was referring to) and it was a display model! He bought it for $250 and he ordered oil from Hunter for $3 + $12 shipping. He used an instruction manual online to install this fan. So guess I'm proven wrong about never seeing this fan running when I saw this fan at Lowes display!
