<p>[QUOTE="Sdcookie2, post: 3569264, member: 11767"][ATTACH=full]306044[/ATTACH] So got some advice from a fan restorer, the tape was really old and brittle. It came off with some resistance but got it off. Doing this left a dry tape residue, since it was on a lacquer surface Goo Gone did the trick, don't even know it was there. The reason the previous owner taped the fans was because each one needs re ribboned. Personally since they would be remounted I wouldn't re ribbon because the restorer would not repaint the ribbon. Here is the end result.[ATTACH=full]306039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306041[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]306043[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
