Missing upholstery tool I just picked one of these up from the thrift. It’s the sea foam green and and it’s in pretty good shape. It came with the extension wand and crevice tool, but missing the upholstery tool. Would anyone happen to have one they’d be willing to give up? Thanks and...

Thanks for all the responses. I think I'll try dying it. I'll keep you updated with what happens and pictures.

Just saved a Sentria from certain death before the rains fell today. It was sitting in the gutter so I grabbed it! Is there any way to turn a pink bag back to gray? I want to keep the curved zipper but I want a gray bag! Any suggestions? I’ve though some rit die but not sure if that’s the best...

I have a brown one available Working but needs a belt. The brush roll still spins and so does the belt pulley. I’ll post pictures in a day or two.

Different part it looks like the part from tristar is no longer available. is there another way to upgrade the motor?

Hello all, I’m trying to get the attachments for the tristar I got for free last weekend. It’s a a101s. I didn’t have any attachments when I got it except the power nozzle. I’m looking for the crevice tool, dusting brush, hand tool, and hopefully a hard floor tool too! Please let me know if I...

Thanks everyone! I guess I need a little more patients haha.

I found a Tristar a101 for free in the local classifieds. It’s almost brand new as far as I can tell (I’ll get pics of it soon). It’s in pretty great shape but I need a few things for it. 1. Some HEPA bags a link or if anyone has some extras I’d be happy to pay for some 2. Attachments... all it...

I should have taken a photo. It didn’t have a rubber cap but was metal. I just packed what I could with grease. It runs much quieter and I think a bit better suction.

I fixed it. Lots of experimentation and I figured it out

I got it all put back together but now I have a bigger problem! I’m not sure how to fix it. But I have the time haha! The color finder stopped working, would not retract and could not pull it out. I had about 5 feet of cord out and this started. I pulled the back off and took the cord cover off...

Madman. I was able to get it open. It is an aluminum base, It looked like one solid piece and I had a hard time getting it started but alas I did! Today I'll clean it up and re grease the bearings. is there a way to get to the "end" bearing? looks like its pretty well sealed in there and I can't...

Hi Les, I’m in West Valley. Good to know there are some locals. This Electrolux came from Salem actively, pretty close to you.

I started taking apart my Electrolux 50th jubilee. Watched a VacLab video and thought I’d give it a try. Just hit a snag trying to get the fan off the motor. I slipped the housing off and got the first fan off but the zen one fan, the stationary one is plastic and I don’t seem to get it off the...

That’s great news. When will this solution be available?
