    I do love an easy fix... New (to me) Sebo X1.1

    There's two little date wheels in the bag door that will tell you the date of the machine. As I was told by Turbo500, this was a Euronics special. I honestly cant remember from when, possibly from 2001 upto about 2011? I'm not 100% sure on the dates though. Apart from the bag door dating...

    What is you favourite type of vacuum?

    Bagged upright for me. Personally I adore any Hoover Turbopower Total System. While I do love my Sebo X1.1 if I had to pick one machine for everyday use it would have to be a Turbopower. Yes,yes "Why pick an oldie over a much more modern machine?" I hear you scwabble. Well, i could go...

    What do you think of the new numatics?

    To expand To expand on my original reply ~ Personally I don't like the new style floor tool as I find it a bit "clunky" and I find that it sticks to the carpet far too much. Could be because the carpets'piles are quite flat now. Where as I didn't have that problem with the older style. The...

    What do you think of the new numatics?

    I can't give my opinion on the newer models as I don't have any experience was th older models. (with the exception of my old nuvac.) Personally I really don't like the new floor tools.

    Hoover Convertible Motor Troubleshooting

    I don't know if you're purposely trying to add fuel to my fire or not, but trust me, I've done it enough times before and my motors have (and still are) turned out perfectly fine. Yes, it's best to use wet and dry sand paper, but as a last resort (if one doesn't have or can't get wet and dry...

    That's why I said to make sure you vacuum it and "dust" it to make sure there is no remaining wire.

    @HooveU4089 (reply #40) When using steel wool, there's little bits of wire that come off of the wire pad that fall on the armature.

    Yep. Steel wool works too. You've just got to make sure that there is no wire left. Vacuum and wipe it a lot afterwards.

    Hoover Convertible Motor Troubleshooting

    Looks much better IMHO. Belooks of it there's copper drag and bar burning. This is due to the commy over heating multiple times. Not sure how one fixes that though. If at all.

    @hooveru4089 (reply #20) Sorry but I just realised that I've skipped out the part of the bearings. They do look a little rough and IMHO I would just replace both.

    Always use it dry. Make sure you wipe /vacuum the commy and brushes afterwards to remove any dust/sand.

    Hoover Convertible Motor Troubleshooting

    Lovely. Thank you for the pictures. Yep, there's dust build up on the commy surface. Quite badly too as they are very scratched. This is causing poor contact with the commy thus causing excessive sparking. In this case, what I do is ~ wipe down the commy with a soft cloth to remove any dust...

    HOW old are these

    Looks more 90's to me. Don't quote me on this, but I think those panas were sold in the 90's.

    Hoover Convertible Motor Troubleshooting

    The brushes look like they have a slight chattering problem IMHO and they also look like they have over heated. The commy looks like it has slight threading and bar burning which would back up the statement of the brushes. Also I on just seen your other comment. When there's q slight dust build...

    I think I will give it a full strip to be honest. It might as well. Thank you everyone for the answers 😊 If I'm lucky enough she might let me have it this Friday, no promises though.
