Japanese fan EPO (Osaka Electric Bureau)

As early as 20 years, in order to push for the electrification of households, the city of osaka decided to lend ventilators to its inhabitants. For a rental price of a few tens of yen per season, the "epo" fans were offered, of which here is a survivor, functional and restored copy. They were built on the basis of the best of the two greatest producers and competitors of the time: shibaura (future toshiba) for the mechanics and kdk for the welded wire protective cage. This example includes a rare brass plate "kdk" which recalls kdk's patents on the manufacture of steel wire cages. Epo fan, 12", 100v 60hz, japan. Option 1: japanese transport/storage/exhibition box in solid wood from paulownia, matt varnished. L40 X h47 X d29 cm, 2.03 kg. Option 2: transformer 220-240v-> 110v 50/60hz 300w.
