Was using my d4 just now and it started to make a funny noise so i turned it off and as it was winding down it sounded like there was something spinning freely. Took it apart and the cooling fan self destructed and stripped its self out. Has anyone else ever had this happen. This is the 2nd...

Brian does excellent work. Is this the same one thats in the video on aerus richmond's youtube channel?

Same person(cousin in law) that gave me the d3 gave me my aunt's D4. This d4 was a big part of my childhood. Couldnt wait to go to aunt's for a weekend or two in the summer. I put alot of hours on this rainbow. My cousin in law got a couldnt pass it up deal on a srx and didnt want these...

It is very quiet Even with a little wind down bearing noise and a rusted motor this thing is very very quiet. Only thing you basically hear is the powerhead running. Cosmetically its in very good shape. Water pan looks to have seen very little use. Brushroll looks fairly new to. Pivot neck...

I was gifted a rainbow d3c serveral week ago. The person that gifted it to me bought it at an auction several years ago. It runs and sounds good just alittle bearing noise and has all attachments. I decided to tempt faith and take the motor apart for a good cleaning. Hardest part was...

Another question Anyone ever carefully grease the inner working of the belt lifter? It as the feel and sound of metal on metal or metal on plastic.

I want to start using my legend 2 more but i really want to upgrade to a longer hose because the original hose is just to short. Ive heard depending on model some have up to an 8ft hose. I could be wrong but wont any kirby hose minus the machine end fit a legend 2 machine end. Just from pics...

I was also able to find some quadraflex replacement brush strips if i need them

Durango159 I was thinking about VGII strips also. I havent gotten the vacuum yet but was trying to line up parts that might be needed. I've even went as far as researching wheels in case the two celebrity back wheels ever break. Have you ever taken a quadraflex pn motor apart. I know the...

Anyone ever try using convertible brush strips in a quadraflex pn?

Jimmy Do you still have celebrity QS electronic? I might be interested in that one instead. If you have time and can get to it easily could you please post some pictures? Thanks

I too have the same questions about the inside works. Unfortunately i havent seen any other info or pics other than the one I posted. If it is totally different on the inside i wonder if rexair will discontinue parts for the older style?

Came across two photos of a new style power nozzle for the srx and was wondering if anyone has used or seen one. Old style had alot of issues and it looks like they went back to the e2 black style with side spinning brushes

I think I figured it out. The d4 with angled separator slats used a very specific nut with a ridge on the back side. Apparently in 02 the dealer put an se nut with the flat back side on it. Pics shows difference in se vs d4 separator nuts. Is the bottom part of the separator supposed to be...

Anyone know why the old style d4 separator would cause vibration? Bearings helped but there is still a vibration. Visually separator looks fine, take it off and run it on an empty water pan no vibration. Im stumped?

It definitely was the bearings. I pulled the one from my se to test it before i had her order them. Theres still a vibration and ive traced it to the separator. Without it no vibration. Is that the nature of the 45 degree slats in the separator. I like to upgrade and separator but i cant...

So im going to be taking my aunt's old rainbow apart because it's very loud and has an awful vibration to the point where is vibrates the wheel dolly off if you pick it up. When she bought her e series in 02 the dealer took it and she said this is how it came back. Im thinking its the bearings...

Jimmy, any update on finding the floor brush hose and extra wands for the celebrity? I know your busy sorting vacs and with your book store but just wanted to make sure you didn't forget.

Does anyone have the part numbers for the celebrity II carbon brushes or needle bearing. I found a hoover needle bearing online and if it's the correct one im gonna order it if they even still have any avalible
