No wonder the poor Las sounded rough.

I don't have anymore pictures of the motor as it seemed pointless. The bearing are fully seized and gunked up. The commy has light threading,copper drag and some bar burning.

This machine has been serviced at one point as the brushes are generic.

I may get more pictures of the motor refurb later.

Bath time!

And now into her nice hot "zesty" lemon bath.

And then cold shower

And then onto the towel to drip dry.

Emma,

Nope, I was not trying to get your goat. I am aware that the industrial revolution began in Manchester, and Andrew Carnegie was Scottish.
Juniors are cute vacuums.
Best take care of that bathtub mold. What is up with most British water taps?
Even when ours have separate handles for hot and cold, the water comes out of one faucet spout. It's like they were here, in the 1930's.

The whole bathroom (and kitchen) was fully refurbished in about 2005.

Motor

Motor and wheels all reattached. Plus the choc block glued in place to stop it from rattling around and being annoying ( just like me ;P )

Final piece to completion

After reassembly it's into the shed for a nice polish and waxing. My my, that sounds a touch kinky, eh?

After her light kinky fun

The bag washed up quite nice to say it was done by hand. I will most likely bung iy in the washer one day to freshen it up some more.

 

[vacuumlover]

I'm quite pleased with how well the cover plate shined up.

The replacement switch and bumper. Shame that the switch isn't the red en' as it looked quite nice to be honest.

 

[vacuumlover]

Random angle. Please excuse my feet!

For the washer fans

This picture is quite random indeed, but I placed her there and couldn't help hut think that they all looked quite nice. Plus I thought I'd slip in something for the washer fans, you're welcome

Also, sorry about the poor lighting.

So, in a short summary what needed doing was ~ Usual strip&clean (obviously), new switch,bumper, new bearings (although they aren't brand spanking new..) and new bellows.

And that's all. I might add the link to the after video once it's done if I can be bothered.
