    Sorry for the late response. Retr0bright is the name of a process using H2o2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) and a heat source or UV light. You can retr0bright things without a UV light using Sunlight and if you wanna be less wasteful, you can use some Salon Care Volume 30 and some cling wrap. Since you...

    Yeah, it’s definitely likely that they used cheap switches that would overheat due to the current.

    Dirt Devil Turbo Tool Recall

    There was a thread on this from 2008, but there’s a possibility that some collectors still could have some defective Turbo Tools. Luckily, I don’t have one and my turbo tools have never exploded. Dirt Devil likely doesn’t offer repair kits anymore and the solution now is to get a replacement...

    Think there should be a post about this recall since I agree that there still could be a number of offending Turbine Tools in the hands of some collectors. There was a thread, but that was long ago. Luckily, I don’t have one these and my turbo tools have never exploded. I’m guessing Dirt Devil...

    Oh, that’s dangerous. That actually happened to many people with Dirt Devil Turbo Tools and those eventually got recalled back in 2008. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2008/dirt-devil-vacuum-accessory-tools-recalled-due-to-laceration-hazard

    Who made these motors?

    What type of motor were these if these were made by Ametek Lamb? Cause these motors don’t look like Ametek Lamb Motors.

    Who made these motors?

    I know these were used in the Maytag Windtunnels and Mine still has its Original Motor in it. But I’d like to know who made these.

    So... Maytag made the Windtunnels from 1996-2007 with the Original WIndtunnel Being released around 1996. The First Self Propelled version was during 1998. In 2000, they released the Windtunnel Twin Chamber and a year later Hoover Updated the Self Propelled and Twin Chamber Windtunnels to have...

    I’m guessing yours is a S.P Windtunnel Premium. Mine’s a S.P Windtunnel Ultra.
