Is the sensor in the clean side or the dirty side of the neck? I tried to clean the boards up as much as possible. You can see the broken screws in the first picture with the top off.

Well after much coercion the spacers finally gave up and I got the thing apart. Now to order parts and wait for the post!

I seen a fairly new model Windsor Sensor S12 for sale a few towns over for sale for 5 bucks. Figured for the price I didn’t have much to loose. The town I got it from has a Servicemaster cleaning company and I’m guessing this was a fleet machine, though it seems the only problems was caused by...

These things just don’t like to come apart! Any trick to getting the fan blades out?

I have always wanted a riccar canister, the uprights are fairly common around here but never see the canister models. This one looks to be a bit of a mixed bag...the suction unit is so so though the power head seems solid. A bit disappointed it doesn’t have a metal brush roll though. Haven’t had...

As long as it turns on the motor doesn't sound like garbage I'd get it. Clogs are fairly easy to fix, these machines are kinda prone to them. There is a clean out port on the back of the machine, you can open it up and see. I would also look at the port where the dirty airstream enters the...

Have had a bit of dry streak lately, hadn't found anything interesting to pick up but that changed the other day when I found this Hoover 28 at a local goodwill store. I can't believe how good of shape it's in, especially considering it's age. Brought it home, cleaned it up a bit and it fired...

I've always thought they were interesting too! Kinda rare beasts though. I believed they were rebadged machines, Oreck did not actually make them did they? Cameron

So do the electronic Oreck Air Cleaners actually work and filter the air or is it just junk. I've found several of these over the years at goodwills and garage sales and such. The air cell does get dirty after a while but it's hard to have a reference of how much pollutants it's pulling out of...

Well this little gem popped up on a local buy and sell group for all of 8 dollars. I long ran out of room at my house for any more vacuums but couldn't pass this one up. It's in excellent condition, everything works as it should, and even had the attachments in the little garage in the back...

Picked up a red TriStar the other day for the pricely sum of $3.99. Machine has been used pretty hard, but had all of the original parts and even had the original styrafoam attachment holder. Looks like the motor has been replaced...the two speed switch has been taken out and covered up...

@crazykirbydude, are you referring to the height adjuster, the knob is set into the body. @tolivac, surprisingly it only draws 9 amps total according to the rating plate. Cameron

The suction motor is indeed mounted on the swinging bag door, so it moves with the door. The massive brush motor, which is a General Electric motor if anybody was wondering, is controlled by a handle position switch. You can see it on the right side of the base in the first picture on the top...

If there was an attachment kit it was probably a rare beast. One might be able to rig up something out of a shop vac hose, it is a reasonably wide pipe. After taking it for a few spins around the house I think part of the purpose of the brush design is to help pull the machine along. These are...

Yours looks identical to my Lux 7000 other than the color. I do Like the darker colors, makes the machine look very sharp. The blue and white on mine seems very bland. Your floor tool looks like one of the “old school” reversible ones. Mine is just the bare floor brush. This is my newest...

I finally had to some time To dig out my clear track. Color is slightly different and mine has the height adjuster. That’s a very nice tool kit you got with yours it’s so rare to find the full kit of looose attachments with thrift shop vacuums most users loose the tools, especially ones that...

I did a quick google search and found some on amazon. I’m sure you can get them through vacuum stores and janitorial supply chains as well. Most users probably just used the cloth bag. I found that (gasp) Hoover type Y bag will fit in it just fine. It sits in the chamber a little crooked since...

I thought I would get the beast out and clean it up a bit and take it for a spin. This thing takes build quality to the next level....it’s like vacuuming with a tank! The brush motor alone is bigger than the suction motor in most machines. The brush roll has quite an unusual pattern as well...

I was thumbing through one of the supply catalogs for the hotel and I seen this odd looking machine in the vacuum section. I had to looked it up and it seems to be a fairly nice and interesting machine. I know I might sound crazy...but to me this looks like what the Hoover Z wanted to be when...

These are very nice machines to use. I have almost the same model, mine is MC-6220 vs 6225. I’ve never seen a jet flo before in that color, just the cream and brown colors. Is the switch in the handle multi position? It looks like it has more than on/off. I think the absulute TOL model had a...
