    The Torrington Restoration

    That’s great news! It is the same stator as the Thor… I took that one out, and because of that I knew I did not want to take this one out hahaha. It’s not great. I just cleaned mine out thoroughly with small brushes and a vacuum. It’s pretty squeaky now. I would recommend the same. It involves...

    The Torrington Restoration

    Thanks everyone for the kind compliments! Jim: this one is going to stay for now. If it ever doesn’t I’ll probably let people here know. Here is a better video of the Torrington vacuuming.

    I actually didn’t use the fan screw. I just grabbed the armature with my hand and the fan came off with no issues just by turning it I believe clockwise. Hope that helps! I know what you mean by the screw. That threw me off for a second before I just moved the fan on its own.

    I have a Fuschia Kenmore Vacuum and I can't find any info on it!

    That Is a color exclusive to Sears Canada. That’s why you can’t find anything in it. It’s the lowest end Power Mate cleaner you can purchase around 2002

    Late 40s/Early 50s Kenmore Upright Restoration

    I received a non working Kenmore upright a few months ago. It literally just buzzed when plugged in. Fast forward to this week when it received a complete and total restoration. Not a single screw was left in this vacuum cleaner, period. Everything was scrubbed and cleaned and sanded, and...

    Nice work! Not flashy or colorful, but easily one of the finest Hoover cleaners ever built. Great job!
