Do you mean the contacts on the door side or on the canister side ? WHat do you mean by came right off ? DO you mean the whole three-female-connector plug came off the canister casing ?

Yepp the 3 female plug is kaput 


<p>So Model ZB86 is getting a new motor and switch and il make 1  out of 2 or fix the ap or zb 86b not sure witch direction im going but i will make a lux out of 2

 

[compactc9guy]

<p>Take parts from both make one good lux whit no issues is my plan .

I am planning take part from both machine and make ONE MACHINE which will have 0 problem stay tuned.

If you ever decide to take the plug from the ZB86, I'd gladly buy from you the electric connectors with the plastic cover in the rear end. I need them to fix a ZB89.

 

[quebecois]

Another option is for me to send you a good plug from one of my AP-100s already stripped for parts. THat will not solve my ZB89 problem, but it will help you fix your AP200 without ruining your ZB86.

I meant a good plug with 3 good wires from an AP100, of course !

id need a new switch and cord winder on zb 86 not sure witch way im going but well see stay tuned

A friend of mine bought for me two ZB88 yesterday, one is supposed to have a bad motor but a nice canister and the other one a damaged canister but a good motor, I may end up making one good machine out of two, and use the connections of the second ZB88 (red machine) to make my ZB89 (green machine) work. So it is possible I won't need these connections from you.

I wouldn't be able to tell before a few days, this friend doesn't live close to my place.

Need fix the cord winder not sure how to change the cord ,and wire a switch also not sure if i want a PN plug on it or not .ZB86.But i am making progress also need to adapt a old hose to the metal body LUx ZB86 motor fit right in.Making head way i havea plan laid out slowly n ot in a hurry whit this .

 

[compactc9guy]

Old switch i s looking bad and worn might have to get a new one not sure how il wire the cord since ym cord winder is not doing so well.

 

[compactc9guy]

Well so far i have the hose on bag in as a test and wires going in .I am using the lux model 86 handel and switch but ; the cord rewing is out of commission so im running the wires to the switch motor from the hole in the top and i will use grommets to plug motor switch and cord together whit out having a cord rewind .In other words the cord rewind is for show on ly , but the wires plug in the housing whit grommets .Motor to switch to cord repeat and voila straight suction unit .

 

[compactc9guy]

as you can see motor is in and cord rewing is almost done but : wires still need to be conected goes in cord rewing housing comes out the top under the switch throught the hole connect all the electric wires motr cord switch whit grommets and bolt it all up looks factory but cord rewind wont rewind no big deal

 

[quebecois]

I may end up doing the same with my ZB89, if I plug it directly I won't need the reel connections, I think the reel works properly (not sure of that) but it's missing the electrical connections.

 

[compactc9guy]

Yes my cord reel is not in the best of shapes so i remove it from the housing ,after that i fed the wires in the opening . The plastic tab had 2 holes in it so i fed the wires there whit grommets (3) .So il be able to wire every thing while still having it l look original enough .
At picture il post in a minute you can see how i did it

 

[compactc9guy]

Picture 2
shows how i fed the wires from the cord to the housing after removing the conenciton and il connect the wires to the motor and switch whit grommets .3 grommet 8 leads .
