one last thing, what is the motor in an Electrolux with the sleds on the bottom made out of? cast aluminum or zinc? anyone know?? thanks.

I just looked at your profile (Dysonman) and are you with the Company? I think the guy was named Tim. maybe it was Tom. I am terrible with names. Anyway if this is you!!! I was blown away with what you knew about a vacuum cleaner. This color means that this vacuum was made in 1950 something...

I don't know. when I visited the Museum in St Louis or wherever it was. it was outside of St Louis west on I44. They had the museum and they had in there their vacuums and they let you use them and give them a spin. I don't know they seem to be of quality and looking at that motor I would...

I never owned a Simplicity or Riccar. I liked the machines that were there that were for sale. I couldn't afford them as the cost of diesel for the motorhome kinda took most of our "fun" money away. That motor looks impressive. I hope they put that motor in the canisters that would be a neat...

Cool. Yes I agree with the slower speed speaking of Rainbow I have my grandmother's that she bought in the 60s I guess. it is chrome and copperish colored . Never had a problem with it so far. I only use it for spills now and then but the motor is original. I think it is anyway. It is weird...

I want to have opinions. I would love to hear from the veterans in the vac business as well. I am looking at an old Electrolux motor. I would love to design a motor that resembles it I would love to have it cast in copper for heat transfer. Would it work When I signed up on here there was...

I know that this thread is old. Now it makes most sense that if you don't take care of your clean air vacuum the motor will wear out, like one mentioned the clogged filter will make the motor spin much faster and lead to bearing failure and the broken bag will sand blast the windings. BUT I...
