Hi, Not sure if this blog is even still open. I got a older Air X wind generator at a yard sale, it needs blades, but I don't know which model it is, the only number is stamped on the end where the pole would go in, and it is: 19560 I don't want to buy the wrong blades for it.

    Before even considering buying blades, test to make sure it actually works, use a drill to spin it, but then again, since you don't know the model, it would be logical to assume there is no wiring diagram available. Most Air X wind generators seem to be white in color as opposed to the disentery green. The blade bolt spacing may be of help, sorry can't be of assistance, other than that.

    The attached PDF file is the spec sheet for an Air-X model that looks a lot like the one you have, though it's white. There is a phone # at the bottom, maybe they can help.
