I've decided to part ways with my Sanitaire S650A. I'll be moving to a new place where there is much less carpet, so I don't need such a powerful machine anymore. It's in good cosmetic condition; few scratches and scrapes. The original 6.5 amp 2-speed motor died a fiery death so a new-style...

This might be a longshot, but does anyone have/know where to find a 6.5 amp 2-speed motor assembly for sale? Part number might be E-546442. The original one in my S650A died and I had to get a single speed replacement. Would like to make my vac original again if possible.

Fan Took it in to the shop for a full service. It's running pretty nice now. One unfortunate thing they did was install a short fan. I know this isn't the right one, as the old fan was taller. Not a huge drop in performance, but I'd like the right part. So I ordered a tall fan online, but seem...

Here's a picture of the two together. I should mention the S635A has a replacement upper cord hook, the original broke off.

I'm looking to part with two redundant machines of mine. I'm not a collector, so I hope these can go to a good home. First is a Eureka 1945B. The original motor blew up, so it has a new 7 amp motor (new style). Fan and pulley were replaced New outer bag New ball bearing VGII New belt March...

I meant rare as in, if this motor dies on me I hope it can still be repaired and parts still exist. Not sure what the differences between these and the more "common" single-speed motors are, but guessing just having the switch wired to a new motor would actually give it two-speeds? I'm not an...

I recently found this model on eBay for a great price, seemed top of the line so I figured why not. It's become my new daily driver and I can't be more happy with it. Even installed the ST filltube, which made a huge difference in performance. It's in great cosmetic shape with a hood that still...

Nice! I had the same vac in college myself and made similar modifications. My carpet was so hard and basically felt like cement, so cleaning it was a challenge sometimes. I switched to ST bags as well, got tired of the F&Gs clogging quickly and filtering poorly. I had better luck with height...

Hi everyone, I recently inherited a 1945B from a family member. It's been performing wonderfully, only issue being that the original outer bag doesn't filter very well. What would be the best replacement option? Thanks

The all brush VG I works great on my apartment's terrible glued-down carpet.

I modified my Eureka 1934B with the following (all reversible): ST Bags Vibra-Groomer I (all brush) 8-position height knob
