I am fairly proficient diagnosing & repairing vac cleaners, but are not familiar with central vacs. I want to test a never installed CentraLux E130G that has no power switch. Short of opening the top & directly connecting the motor to power, If I short the two terminals below the reset button...

I think the company is Hangzhou Great Star Industrial. they own some of the older tool brands that were sold off. Arrow, Goldblatt, Pony, Jorgensen, Sheffield, Millers Falls, etc. Hangzhou Great Star Industrial http://www.greatstartools.com/en/about.asp?info_kind=004003

Wen through some old files, found this. This is from a few years back. Posting it to help future posts. This information is no longer on the Helwig Carbon site.

The metal canister bodies made after the Super J have a larger opening that can accomodate a regular 5.7" motor". If you compare them side by side, you will see the later canister bodies have a round opening.

Eurton Electric 549 seems to match the Helwig 146 Eurton Electric 549 .25" x .43" x 1.02" Brush 549 https://store.eurtonelectric.com/25x43x102brush549.aspx Helwig 146 thickness 0.25″, width 0.437″, length 1″ https://www.helwigcarbon.com/shop/146/

Maybe try giving these guy a call: Eurton Electric https://store.eurtonelectric.com/vacuumbrushes.aspx It may help to pull the carbon brush out of the holder and measure the thickness & width with a digital caliper. The length should be slightly longer than the brass holder. You can pick up a...

An old post mentions Helwig Carbon brushes, part number 146 will work for the diamond jubilee motor.this should be for the motor on the left. https://www.helwigcarbon.com https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?11901

I found some old pics. These are from my two Diamond Jubilee's whuch have two different motors. I believe what you have in your machine is the motor on the left. The one on the right is the Electro Motor style with the plastic cap.

Please take a picture of the motor. I have several DJ's (in storage right now) The set you received fits an Electro Motor style Electrolux motor. Motors from Super J up can fit this model.

The 2100 series (Ambassador. LE, etc.)plastic canister vacs have dual stage motors in them, just like the older electrolux's. That being said, I gave away to my SIL, one of mine that I upgraded to an Ametek Lamb motor (5.7"). I am currently working on another one that I am upgrading. Here are...

It is worth fixing, I have a couple of original motors for them, and the cord is easy to repair. The control valve is easy to bypass, and keep things simple. There is a proper way to split the case to work on it.

regardless of the term, here is a pic of what they should look like. I tapped the nylon spacers for a screw and drilled throiugh the canister body. They are held in place with nylon screws.

Small project bringing a plastic canister Electrolux back to life. It must have been dropped since the back cover was loose and some tabs broken on the cover. The cord winder was missing some of the tabs and needed some repair. A few small zip ties are keeping it together. . Someone put the...

So I did a search ... there is an older thread that discusses the Silverado motors. They originally started with Super J / Olympia motors and later transitioned to the ones found in the diamond Jubilee. My Silverado apparently has a replacement motor and is not the Super j / Olympia style...

Another pic ..

The different motors could be due to whatever Electrolux had on hand. The Silverado metal canister shell & later had a larger opening for the motor. It can take a modern 5.7" motor due to the larger hole size. I have models with both kinds of motors, and some with the plastic extension,

Tis is what I have. I believe it from a model G. I do not own any of the older ones before the 1205. weight is about 4-/2 pounds.

Look here at this older thread ... I believe I have one. I will post a pic soon. Electrolux Model G cord winder removal: https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?25390

Well, based on the pics, it looks like I have a model G switch. My dad scrapped some older Eloctroluxes a while back, and took off some parts he thought might be useful for somebody. Take a look. I only own Electroluxes from the 1205 and later, nothing earlier.
