I have a fairly old ceiling fan (came with the house) that wobbles like
crazy at high speed. Anyone know of a good web site where I can see how
to balance it?

there's a good chance the blades are loose. Check that first.

Also, then check to see that they are all vertically even. That's what
usually causes the wobble.

Meaning each tip is the same distance from the ceiling?

Lou

Measure from the same spot. It will always be the same distance from the
center of the Earth.

Make sure they are all at the same PITCH (angle). If
balance varies with speed, it's the pitch, a blade bracket
got bent a tad.

Same distance from the ceiling? But they work on vaulted ceilings. I had
one. I must be missing something on this week old post.

I did not say anything about the ceiling, which happens to be flat.
