Joe, The thumb wheel dirt control on the bag door as you call it, is used to set how much airflow decrease do you want before the machines shuts off indicating the bag needs to be changed. For argument sake, say with a new bag the vac produces 100 cubic feet per minute of airflow, set the dial...

Does anyone know if this model of Eureka takes paper bags??, and if it does, what style number?? I've got one that is similar, but has a cloth shake out bag. My knowledge of Eureka products is not all that great. Vernon

Since they are now franchisee owned shops, it depends on how hungry they are for a sale will determine the price

the Gaurdian floor tool is the same as its cousin the tri-st Joe, You are absolutely right! The handgrip and wands are Tri-star as well. I don't find the hand grip very comfortable, but that's just my two cents worth.

Guardian-Legacy-Classic = Same Motor All three Aerus Canisters have the same motor. It's a single stage motor made by Johnson Electric. I too noticed on their spec sheet that there's a typo error for amps amongst the three. Roughly 10 amps for the motor, then add another amp or more for the pn...

For the price of the bearing, you might considering replacing the complete bearing vs. just greasing it. If you replace, use a good bearing such as SKF, FAG, NTN.

If memory serves correct, Advance is no longer in business. I think it was bought out/merged with nilfisk?? You might want to try the commercial janitorial supply outlets first as one of them will know the history of the machine and parts/supply availability. Advance had a long history in the...

As Erick stated above, you could have a problem with the swivel connector on the power head. Some were metal to metal contacts, while others were hard wired. The hard wired ones, sometimes the wiring will get caught/pinched and snap/break. Also, the actual contacts/wiring in the wands can also...

What year: 1976-1978 Vintage, give or take. Selecting coarse to fine dirt: This adjusts the automatic shut off. How much airflow do you want to drop off before the machine shuts itself off. If you set it on coarse dirt, it will shut off sooner than if you set it on fine dirt. ie. new bag has...

SKF Bearing 608ZZ Richard, I have been using SKF 608ZZ bearings in mine. When I need a 629 bearing for the older Canadian 80's series, I have been using a FAG brand. The SKF is made in Italy, the FAG in Portugal. I actually spoke with a tech rep at SKF, if memeory serves correct, he informed...

Poor suction--I agree Neat looking unit, but I agree with the comments on the suction/airflow side. The motors were nowhere near as powerful as the super J, olympia 1, silverado, nor the later 5.7 inch diameter motor that came in the late Silverado and the model 1521 (diamond j...

Try Taski Ventos at Wood Wyant Brian, Since you're in Canada like myself, have you tried the commercial janitorial supply companies such as Wood Wyant?? They are the Taski distributor in Canada. We have been using Taski products for twenty or so years with great success. In the past year or...

Guardian Ultra Hand Grip The hand grip on this new model is not like the Epic6500/7000/legacy series canisters. It's basically a Tristar clone. Vernon

Brad, Did you get the problem with the AP 100 figured out??? I was thinking, even though you put new contacts in, did you try wiggling the front door just in case it was a poor contact?? The other thing that came to mind, I've seen them not work, and it's been the thermal protector on the motor...

Are all the vacuum lines connected??? Are the vacuum lines clear or is one or more clogged. In regards to the lines being clear, the inlet that is in the front door, there is a hole that is about the size of a pin head, if you disassemble the front door, you will see the vacuum line running to...

Lamb motor = replacement motor Dave, Whomever had the unit before you, replaced the motor. Kinda what I thought from that series. The Lamb 116311 seems to be a common replacement for luxes. I think the lamb model # is usually on the fan casing (scratches head as he hasn't seen a lamb for a...

Does anyone own one of these?? Opinions: good-bad-indifferent I just bought a used one, sight unseen other than pics. Any comments would be appreciated Vernon

Motor 6500-200 Dave, Does your System 90 have motor model 6500-200?? the bracket that holds the commutator is probably the same color as the top trim of you system 90??, as compared to being black. Those motors were kinda funny, some lasted a long time, others had a short lived life span. Vernon

Hand grip comes off The hand grip does comes off so you can push a pipe/broom handle through. Remove the two screws, just be careful where the electrical contact (female end) is, as it snaps into the handle and if you're not careful, you could break it upon removal. The hand grip is actually...

Pieces are replaceable Brian, yes, those pieces are replaceable. You can order new ones through areus, or find another unit at the "wreckers" and rob parts from it. In regards to the hose, I doubt it that it will be clogged, although it could be. The main problem is the age of the hose, the...
