I'm halfway through with the restoration of a 514. The original metal fan has a chip in one of the blades, so I'm going to see if a machine shop can shave away the rest of the blades to make it more balanced because I'd hate to lose a six blade fan. In the meantime, I have an 119078A Amodel fan that I got off Amazon. The back of the fan rubs against the screws that hold the bearing plate to the chassis. I do have the brass spacer installed.
I almost wondered if I was sent the wrong fan bc googling 119078 comes up with 505-515 as well as 516-LII. I will say I have a NOS 10 blade metal fan (later 500-Classic?), can this work with a pre-516?
