Remote Control for 25 Year Old Emerson Ceiling Fan
We have a 4-bladed Emerson ceiling fan that we really like. Nameplate info is: Catalog # CF756AB-0, Model # AC4156 and the date code indicates that the fan was manufactured some time in 1983. As I said, we like the fan so we brought it with us when we moved ~1997. We finally have an opportunity to install it in this home and it brings up a question. Does anyone know if the motor in this unit is compatible with any of the current "universal" remote control devices? It was NOT built as a remote control fan. I understand that I might have to install a receiver in the ceiling unit but don't know if there is anything possibly unique about the motor that would make it incompatible. Thanks in advance for any comments.
