Flip a coin!    Try the one with the bad housing, you're probably way more likely to damage the housing and not the brush if something goes awry!

That makes sense! Wondered why you needed 3 beaters on a mixer? Just for you, here's my kitchen lineup! Osterizer Imperial 2-Speed and a Dormeyer stand mixer. I'm pretty sure those are both original bowls on the Dormeyer, they're beautiful! She got a workout last night making pumpkin spice...

Thanks for the info!

As the old saying goes, looks can be deceiving!    Welcome to the club, JM! 

Got any pics of those monster vacs? Sounds interesting!

I'm about petrified to buy a new computer, I'm a die-hard 7 fanboy! 8 is on my laptop, and its bad enough with the lack off a start button and the forced updates, I'm having nightmares over 10! Call me a conspirator, but I think it's a bit questionable when Microsoft just wants to GIVE you their...

12 hours?! I'm about ready to gas up the car and go after hearing that!  Vintage appliances AND 40-year-old abandoned buildings!? My kind of place!     

I'm no expert either, but that looks just like a regular brushed Amtek motor, only I don't see any wires running to where the carbons would be?

Your best bet is washing it gently in the sink, I've had disaster with vacuum bags and washing machines! Does that bag have the sticker logos on it? I know mine does, but mine's a ESP with the very early 1978 vinyl bag.

BEAUTIFUL and POWERFUL vacuum! Mine is in perfect shape, and I love the thing! I wonder if that Tool Garden still has all the plastic studs in place? That hose is in great shape!

I'm thinking of the perfect vacuum hose for my Jacuzzi! And it starts with 'LEWYT'! 

We didn't get them until the DC07 in 2002, Charles    I know, right? Me of all people knowing this! 

Panasonic MAKES Kenmore, same models and everything, so it only makes sense their bags are interchangeable!     Sebo and Riccar and the like are all different companies, with different ideas and designs.

What happens if you undo the big screw? Inquiring minds want to know!     

Jump on it! Not literally....it'll survive if you do, though! 

If only all my precious plans would come true! 

@vacuumkid47, Just so you know, the vacuum in 'Who's minding the store?' Was a Hoover Convertible model 69!    GrandCentral, you might prefer a newer model than a late 1950s convertible, the hoods on those early Convertibles were prone to warping and self-destructing under the heat of the...

Yeah...That's not a good thing.....from the picture it looks like the fan is completely shattered.....   But don't worry! You can pop this baby open real easy. There's 2 screws that attach the hood to the base, look to the right and left of the bottom of the vacuum, you'll see them. Undo...

Well played JM, well played!
