Here are three pictures of the wiring in my ZB89, it should be the same as yours. Top of the machine is upside on the pictures. The two wires coming from the switch are easy to see. Each of them goes down to a marrette or grommet if you prefer. On pictures 2 and 3 , I pointed at the location...

I usually open the bag door and I slide the bumpers from the back towards the front with a hammer and a big flat screwdriver . No need to insert the blade of the screwdriver under the bumper. I usually lightly spray the inside of the bumpers with WD-40 , so it's easier to slide them back on and...

I bought it from a Quebecois who had lived for several years in the States, he bought this vac when he lived there, and then his wife got sick so he came back here a few years ago. The number 1453 is stamped in the bag door, so I'm positive on it, unless someone changed the door...

I found that 1453 model close to Quebec City, they are not very common up here.

I don't see any wire coming from the bag door switch, did you cancel them or were there any before?

The gray-coloured cord is your power cord, isn't it?

I'd like to help but my 15 year-old companion cat died a few days ago, and my girlfriend's daughter just had a baby yesterday and I've had this little thing in my arms for an hour earlier today, oh my, lots of emotions these days!

I have a 89 (non running), I just sold a running 89 and one of my friend is supposed to bring me two 88s (red) , I'm anxious to see in what condition they are.

Good enough !

SOme of these swiwel are mounted on brackets riveted in the vacuum canister instead of screwed in, that doesn't help replacing them. On my best ZB89, I ended up drilling the rivet of the wheel itself and putting a small bolt as a new axle.

Is the 1205 motor the same as a SuperJ motor ? I took one of my SuperJ's motor apart last year, there should be a thread about that in the archives, one suggested a good place to get the motor brushes from. If I remember well, it doesn't even have to be Electrolux brushes, as brushes are...

PLiability isn't an issue with electric tape ?

looks like you found the right one judging by the name of the item.

What kind of tape did you use? I did a few hoses with shipping tape, good results with succion, but not with pliability.

Good you sorted it out. It's funny what wrong wiring could do. WHen I put my AP-280 motor back together after a bearing change, I did something wrong with the wires, and I had only the low speed working. I looked at the pictures I took while disassembly and then noticed that I wired it exactly...

Please let us konw how it turns out.

The list would be pretty different in Canada.

As for cleaning the inside, the following video may be helpful for disassembly.

I'm not surprised, most of these 40 years old cloth hoses are no good.

I f you put a new bag in it just before testing, the hose is probably shot, this could be the main reason why succion is not good. A good cleaning won't hurt anything, though.
