    Omega Resto Done

    Ben: Yes, I did keep the original cord. It was in good shape and cleaned up nicely. Rugsucker: It is a craftsman style built in 1918. Slowly refinishing woodwork etc. The next vac to be finished will be the 1C I picked up a month or so ago...

    Bill, I ended up using the teflon tape. Worked great! I did however order some of those tolerance rings if/when I should encounter such an event again! Thanks for your help!

    Removing Omega Fan

    Ok. GOt the fan back to where it should be. However, there is a slight bit of play yet in the fan. Is there something you would recommend to put behing the fan to lock it in place? Perhaps some teflon tape to prevent it from going back down?

    Removing Omega Fan

    I never even removed the field from the plastic housing. Thats the odd thing indeed. I just cant figure it out, everything goes into place, the armature just cannot spin without hitting the copper winding...

    Removing Omega Fan

    Just swapped the bearings on the omega. Now when I put the armature back into the field, the fans of the armature are getting caught on the bottom om the copper field windings!!!! I have no idea how this happened, looking at the commutator it appears to be lined up just perfectly, the rear...

    Removing Omega Fan

    Working on my Kirby Omega now. Never used the fan locking tool before, but I have one. Looked in the forums, can anyone provide a walkthrough of how to use this tool? I don't see where in the armature it should go
