I have a Model 72 Premier with motor made by the Electric Vacuum Cleaner Co.
It did not run when I got it so I disassembled it to inspect. First question: how do I test the on/off switch ? Picture #1 shows a continuity tester with one end on the positive end on plug and the other end as shown....is this not the way to test ?
Picture # 2 shows a broken brush. Where can I obtain new ones and how do you measure them ? If that size is not available can you buy larger ones and file them down to size ? or is that just a crazy idea ?
Thank You.
