if the upper bearing has come apart it is highly likely that the bracket has been oblonged or Hollowed out meaning that a new bearing will not snugly fit back in place. As stated in replies above it is advised that the fan not be removed and at this point you should get a new or used motor to...

BTW! Yes you should do a "flower power theme" I think that would be fantastic since I know that you have a lot of flower power Hoovers. Maybe instead of posting them in members only, you can share with the " rest of the class" since I am sure that a bunch of people would absolutely LOVE to...

I mean... since I haven't been on here in quite some time, and saw that you made a "pictures thread" in the "Vintage forum" but cannot post them here. How about a little Festiveness for the theme. I will gladly help you out! Your photographer did a nice job.

Eric Skau is an amazing friend and I am so proud to be able to call him that. His donation to you was a blessing and the friendship that you two have is truly something that will last a lifetime.

I have a thunder and a destiny plus that I might be willing to sell as I am selling off a decent portion of my collection.

That was my machine. When Nick bought it, the machine had a brand new motor in it. Don’t ask me what happened to it as it was pretty unexplainable. The motor that is in it now was recently serviced by me and sent back to Nick. As for the bin go to Walmart, grab some tire wet (shine lasts...

no offense Bill but there is a reason we don't go back on certain threads... I do believe it is to prevent anymore arguing.

Funny how someone says that the machine cannot be dipped in water or solution due to the electronics, but just an FYI the boards are coated with a special epoxy material to prevent anything from happening to them if in the event they do indeed get wet. I wash boards all of the time with no...

Electro to answer your question regarding airflow... these machines actually have quite a bit of airflow but what restricts it quite a bit to my findings is the HEPA filter, it is made of a different material than the E-series machines. The other thing is that these machines only use one fan...

You can save it by OILING the TOP BEARING and GREASING the lower bearing. Do not OIL the LOWER BEARING.

I can smell the cord material of the 90's from this pic and love it! something about the smell of a NOS 90's machine that takes me back to when I was a wee young person. Gorgeous!

I mean for a dollar I guess one couldn't go wrong. Is it rude of me to assume the smell of cat piss might be overwhelming based on the picture? Can anyone else assume smells based on a pic?

looking forward to that vid Garrett! Congrats on the purchase!

Soyz I heyd We waz a saltsy bunch!!!!

kelton granted, that's totally true, but it also wasn't the only brand I was referring as there are plenty out there that will compare or do better lol. Someone mentioned the Patriot, and I also happen to have a Vortech Force XR3000 that I like quite well and I know for a fact that they still...
