Congrats on the new pink Dyson! Jack- The U.S. DC07's had the brush control but none that I've seen had the large debris channel....as far as I know the channel wasn't added until the DC14 came out. My DC15 has it as well and I never did like it....I blocked the suction opening between the...

WOW....I don't think I have ever seen a brush-roll worn quite like that, either...that thing looks like it swept up razor blades or something...LOL

Jack, That is amazing (and yes disgusting,too) that all of that came out of only two rooms of carpet! When I do use my Dyson DC15 I can do 4 rooms of carpet, the hardwoods, bathroom & kitchen tile floors, a few small area rugs, also dust knick knacks, furniture...etc., 3 large area rugs in the...

If that's the case......Eureka still carries a variety of floor tools/brushes..... Check it out- http://eurekaservice.stores.yahoo.net/floortools1.html

Hi Bernie- Thanks for the link....VERY helpful.....I just watched it from the link on your Convertible Thread over in Vintage Vacs....But thanks for posting it here too. And thank you Eric (ttuee2006) for making and posting this very helpful and very informative video!

Yes Fred, Thank you very much.... Didn't mean to run the subject into the ground, but inquiring minds need to know... :) Amazing how little info is available online regarding vacuum motor repair/servicing..... AT least it might buy me some time until I can get a new bearing....Yay

Thanks for all of the info Norm.....I keep forgetting you used to have a vac shop... I still having problems getting the fan off.... the whole shaft turns even with the fan held tight so i am not able to loosen the pulley that way....I am going to work more on that tonight...the only other way...

Thanks Lou- I am positive it's not the fan....I have the motor off of the base and it is still doing the same thing.....It's not a constant squeal, it's intermittent and when it is turned off and slowing down. When I get the fan off....Is it reverse threaded? I'm afraid to turn too hard either...

Hi Lou- I thought I had heard not to oil them on Hoovers...such as the 28, etc.... But wasn't sure about Eureka.... It is sqeaking...or sqealing....for lack of a better term..... Is it just suppposed to be cleaned? I am used to working on ball bearings....so not sure with these sleeve types.

Hi All- Doing some work on a Eureka model #1416..... Does the top sleeve bearing on the motor get OIL? sae 10, 20 or other..... Also having some trouble getting the fan off.... Is the pulley reverse threaded like Kirby? Doesn't seem to want to turn either way... Thanks for any and all...

The only time I had carbon brushes wear all the way down, was a few years ago while using my Kirby Heritage II....I was using the hose and tools to vacuum the furniture when the motor started to slow down then speed back up, it did that a few times, then it cut out a few times, then it just...

Yes Rick you're right....I forgot it was also used on the Fuller brush canisters. Wonder who makes it?

Underside.....

hey guys, thanks for all of the info....I definitely want to find another PN with the VGIII for use with my central vac.....I have one that came with a refurbished Euro-pro canister....the PN has a Euro-Pro label on it, but I have seen the same PN sold on Central Vac sites under the Dust Care...

very nice......love the side lighting on those!

Thanks Jeff.....Interesting that it was never used in an upright. I guess the VGI would not have been original to my 2020B then....I think it came out in 1971?? Probably would have had the wooden agitator with the red beater bars? Of course when I got it...it had a brushroll that I have never...

LOL....That's a good question Eric....I like all of the G series....but when I first saw the Sentria I just really liked the looks of it more.....For some reason the subtle rounded changes made it more appealing to me.....hard to explain.

Thanks Eric (ttuee2006) for the advice.....LOL, now I know what happened to one I tried to work on years ago....grease! oops. Norm, Thanks for all the info...hope you guys had fun at your mini meet tonight! Anyone have any info on the Vibra Groomer III (3)....the one with 4 brush strips with...

WOW......Congrats on a Great Deal! It looks brand new....beautiful machine. I hope to have one of these in the future...I really like the way they look.

That is a BEAUTIFUL machine! I like the white bail, too........ But, I LOVE that cloth bag!!! I wasn't aware that any of the Convertibles came with a cloth outer bag or was it only on British machines?
