How hard is it to lubricate a motor from a Super J. I know how to take it out, I'm just curious if I have to tear the entire thing down to lubricate it. Also if I do are all the fan blades keyed so I don't put them on in the wrong position?

Does anyone know the difference between the 2 different length armature? I really want to try and order one.

So it turns out the Armature is shot, and one of the brushes is rounded off the other looks ok. I found a guy on eBay selling NOS armature. Do I need the long or short armature? Also can someone direct me to a place that has brushes?

Ok I'll try and take it apart tonight. Do they still make brushes and bearings for these motors

I picked up a near mint golden J off Facebook marketplace for $50. When I got it home, I plugged it in the motor spun right up to high speed like an electrolux should then all the sudden it slowed down then got very noisy and I could smell it burning. Is this a symptom of needing new brushes or...

Hey Guys I tore the vacuum down, the good news is it's not too bad inside. I ran power to the motor and it ran smooth like it should, the resistor block looks to be ok.. The problem is when the vacuum was all together I would turn it on and the check bag light would come on and the motor...

Thank you. If its nothing special I'm going to coat the inside and use it for the 1205 resto.

I have a vinyl hose that I use. I just wanted to know if I should take care of it because it's the match. Ive heard of people coating the inside of the hose with flex seal?

So my Golden Jubilee came with a 4A nozzle instead of the proper PN 2 and it had a broken throat so I went on a search for a PN2. I just got one in the mail from eBay. It came with a wand and hose too, which I was hoping to use for my 1205 restoration. But I was looking at pictures online and I...

Using those should stop that dirt smell when I run my Golden Jubilee right?

I was reading through one of the threads and someone made mention of Electrolux Perfect bags, and they're hepa filtered and leak no dust. I saw Vac America mentioned. Are these them? https://onlinevacshop.com/product/electrolux-style-c-hepa-vacuum-bags-9-pack-by-v-a-c/

Turning it on I was actually considering plugging it in, because I think it would run too. There's a video of someone trying to deliberately kill a 1205 in YouTube and its nearly impossible. What kept me from doing it is all the water that came out of the cord winder. I was worried about that...

Wow, I actually used to have the same Vacuum I would have thought it worked better than that. Its kind of a let down...

I struck out finding a "Throat" online, so just to get it going I put high strength crazy glue on it, and then once that dried I rubbed a little white 100% silicone across the cracks. Hopefully it holds for a while. Ill try the Aerus shop on Monday. But in the mean time I want to try and find...

Here's some pics Im going to atleast try and see what I can do.
