Everyone may remember I got a new Perfect canister that didn't work. The manufacturer was very kind and a had a replacement the very next day. I'm just getting around to finally taking some pictures today. Here we go, happy to answer any questions as well. Enjoy!

update... I called Essco this morning and they were very helpful. They put me in touch with National, the "manufacturer" and National was very helpful. They are overnighting me a new machine, should arrive tomorrow, as well as return label for the defective one. From the sounds of things, the...

My first Perfect canister arrived today. Just got around to unpacking it and attempting to try it out. But, its deader than a doornail. Not wanting to go thru the trouble of repacking and return shipping, waiting for another one, I took it apart. Multimeter on the contacts of the cord reel read...

Mr. Mom - If I remember correctly, "Jaws" was not a Kirby, but rather the one with the eyeball headlights. I could be totally wrong too...

Michael, I have the Wessel-Werk EBK-340 power nozzle for my central vacuum. It is by far, the best power nozzle I have ever used. I have very difficult carpet, it is plush cut-pile carpet, but it is a lower cut-pile and is very, very dense. I tried many differrent power nozzles including...

danorob1...check your email Dan, I sent you and email, I'm also in NJ and can help you get one of these machines if you would like. Just let me know, my email may have ended up in your spam.

Thanks, Sandy Yes the back goes down when I push on it just takes a little more effort than I thought it would for it to go down. But, sounds like I got everything correct. I was very careful to not overtighten anything, I am famous for doing that and breaking things so I was especially...

Hi All, I may or may not be done with my Silverado Deluxe rebuild. I totally disassembled the PN5 power nozzle today and cleaned it and put it back together. It runs great. But... When I took the rear wheel assembly off by removing the cover over the axle it pretty much just sprang apart, so I...

Will you... Go buy it for me? Even willing to pay you a finders fee, I have been wanting one of those!

Thanks for the help everybody! After pondering the "bulb" for a while and not finding anything similar at radio shack or online, I believe you all, Fred got it first!, are correct in that it is a neon type bulb, or florecent. Makes sense because a regular bulb woudn't need a risistor on it...

Electroluxxxx - been there, done that with Mr. Magic Eraser! A very light touch indeed is needed or else you can really F things up in a hurry. I have moved away from that unless all else fails. I have found that Goo-Gone citrus in the spray bottle, its a thick, viscous nice smelling solvent...

I really appreciate everyones help with this. I have to order the carbon brushes and I won't be in the lab to grab some tygon until the end of this week, so won't really start putting back together until next weekend. I also want to re-do the writing on the raised lettering, black on the side...

Hi All, Crummy weather day here in NJ so I decided to tackle one of my more recent garage sale finds. I found the following machine for $5 complete with powerhead (no pics of that yet). With a new bo-jack bag in place and nothing else, it pulled 82" on my guage. This is one powerful old...

In the frontgate catalouge. I have never seen this one before. The powerhead is the EBK-340 by wessel-werk. I have this powerhead on our central vac and it is by far the best powerhead I have ever used. Anyone have any experience with this machine...
