Pics
Hey
I cleaned the vacuum and attachments up. 3 things the motor plastic housing to hold the filter must have been original I put in new filter and took off to take a pic and it's cracked. I have a new one ordered.
2. The hose has a 8" in section smashed a little. I may use head gun use an inch PVC pipe to fix it.
3. The exhaust blower port cap has a few cracks in pic right above my thumb. I'm going to usee goo glue and glue it should fix that. It does have slight black color by where you put hose but I want to know what I could use to clean it maybe steel wool I'm not sure.
I watched a few of compaq9guys YouTube videos. Bye nice videos.
I have not got the power head but 7.5 amp is impressive. The blower port feels stronger than my sentria blower.
I watched how to disassemble vacuum video. It was a vacuum shop owner I believe he posts here but don't recall his name.
I'm going to try and find carbon brushes for it. When I do I will dissaesemble the vacuum. I'll use my new karcher power sprayer and clean everything very well and also use commuter Stone on commuter and test coils.
I will wait a little to do this.
I have researched quite a bit and the motor is a lamb motor may have been GE but it is same company just changed there name.
I have one question. The exhaust port people put on this cone filter but I will not. Shop vacs have a generic foam polyurethane filter for them. I was going to take cap from exhaust cut pattern out and maybe use some small clip or wire to hold onto filter cap. I believe this would filter sufficient and not bog motor down with back pressure.
Anyway I found this vacuum is a work horse and standard for all canister vacuums. It has cyclonic technology and great bag system. If I counted correctly I have 72 bags. I am waiting on filters but I ordered a few. I believe I I good for 5 years plus on supplies.
I may rebuild power nozzle or maintenance it depending on brush roll and belt wear. I have 3 belts for power nozzle.
Well I have wrote quite a bit. Td like to thank Antoine (compactc9guy) I believe it is Antoine for his excellent help. I acted a fool and ended up with a great fellow vacuum friend who is the guru of compact/interstate vacuums. He helped me find vacuum on eBay. I asked seller to drop price from$175 to $125 and they did. I got best compact off eBay at a killer deal. I got all info I'll ever need so thanks again compactguy.
I have about 25 vacuums. I think this vacuum I can focus on and finish all other machines and sale or keep.
This vacuum is more than I needed to. I'm very greatful for everyone helping me it's been a tough few months. I lost my job got a new job. I lost my mother at 58 years young November 2. It sent me in a tailspin. I'm coming up and leveling out. I'm happy my mother is done suffering and in piece. I have a job with a bright future. This vacuum curbed my need for my vacuum adddiction under control. It goes to show things happen for a reason. I'd like to thank the board for putting up with my attitude. I was in some cases overbearing. A good example was my idiotic post on car air filters. Oi I sounded like a trolling clown. Thanks again everyone mostly compactguy9.
