Only 2 stollen? Guess one of the convienantly located AFCA guys got a little freaked by stealing from an abandon mental hospital. Or he could only fit 2 in his car. I find it amsuing how the things hung there for the better part of 100 years and within days of this page being posted on the fan collectors page a couple went missing.
We are talking Westinghouse Gyros. Scarce fans, but not rare or exotic. As mentioned above, they aren't worth 2 grand since eBay went live and many came to light driving their values down. They are the most common of the gyro fans and I sure wouldn't be breaking into that place and breaking my neck just to steal a fan that really wasn't worth that much. To me, the effort that went into the thief finding the place. staking out the security, busting in, locating, taking them down without the aid of a ladder.. having the strength...
all of that for a fan that might have a current ebay market value of $750? Sorry, but thats just screwy.

I can understand the restoration part. But you can buy many a fan off of ebay legit that will need plenty of restoration.

But of course there are a lot of people out there that want something nice for nothing.
plus theres something creepy about wanting a fan that was used in a place like that. Kind of like those funeral parlor fans that pop on ebay now and then. Luminaires they are called. ornate pedestal fans. often sell for $600-1200. I like old fans but wouldnt want one that used to blow flies off of dead people.

glad the owner got those remaining gyros. You can get seriously hurt in a place like this. Much more fun looking at the photos someone else took!

Also adding onto to Maypost asbestos will not instantly create cancer. In fact it takes many hours of breathing it in straight. To breathe it in straight you need to disturb it into the air which I find would be very stupid. So don't be scared to die just..cautious

Reminds me of the game Water Works. Also, something that the 3 Stooges would build as plumbers.

I like how the shot appears to be in black and white and eventualy turns to color, much like what happens in the Wizard of Oz.

I honestly want to cry, green does not come after blue. This is the saddest attempt for a rainbow ever. The color spectrum does not work that way.

What great colors! That place looks perfect for sitting around in eatting chocolates and drinking sodas. I really like the colors here, this place made an effort to look cheerful which is more than can be said for places like Pennhurst.
Great photo shop job Lynne, lol Mr. Motts goes on a Spring cleaning craze!
