Thanks

I assembled some but the blower port I couldn't find. Good to know about the filters.
Your vacuum underneath the bag is clean. I have the same white hose and clear sparkly attachments. I like your color better than my grey pupon mustard color.
Calling it a tank is a accurate description of the vacuum it feels like cast iron. If someone broke ib your house throw the vacuum at them there wouldn't get up. If you vacuum stairs don't have it at the too of the stairs. It's got loads of power too.
I'll have pics tommorow powerhead tbd.
Thanks
Les

Hey

I replied to your message.
I got filter changed and blew out vacuum and cleaned it up but it was in pretty good shape. The attachments I put in tub and used shower head sprayer. I used vacuum to blow dry as good as possible now they are air drying the rest of the way.
The 2 bag filters were bad I sprayed as much as I could but they were bad. I washed to them in washing machine. They are air drying. So I'll be using tommorow with all attachments cleaned new and clean filters. Thanks again compactguy.

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.

Bag pic

I used the vacuum to do basement stairs and 2 entry ways. Keep in mind I vacuumed 2 days ago with new royal.
I put a fresh new bag in and I'm ready for power nozzle. It picked up everything no crumbs or hair left behind.

Hey

Thanks for the kind words.
I showed my wife the vacuum and she loves it. She got a small pet kennel with carpeting like a cars rear floor mat caked in dirt. I put cyclonic head and one pass three total covering mat once it was hair free. She was amazed. When done the mat kept hold of the mat with the suction. She had to pull it off nozzle. She said"wow that's a lot of power."
I told her about power nozzle.
She wants to vacuum with it now.
So it's a keeper and wife loves it. Thanks again for everything. Glad to be happy vacuuming again. Good health to you and your family.

Cant beat the Compact Electra C9 on rawr pure power adda power nozzle and youve got best of both world .Im sure glad i pick up mine 5 years or so ago take care.

 

[Deleted member 1090]

question quickly did u get the hose to better shape or is it still smash.
Now , this is an electric hose so cutting is out of the equasion due to the wires . put a tube inside the hose or a lonng wand heat the hose try to re mold it in to shape maybe??[this post was last edited: 12/2/2018-16:52]

Hey

I used the vacuum doing about 2500 SF. The air circulated fixed the hose. I think it was slightly kinked when shipping. I was looking for semi smashed part and it was gone. The hose feels brand new. You can tell when hoses have been worn and this looks new.
Someone about 40 miles away is giving away a vacuum with a blown motor. The badge says interstate and has serial number. It is for free. She has power nozzle hose etc. If in a few days she still has it I may go pick up. The motor swap would be easy.
I I looked at floors I vacuumed today and there still clean. It's got alot going for it. The power blower suction power and rotating wheels make this vacuum easy to love. This has been added to daily driver with my sentria replacing my shark. I may make a shoulder strap to use on my stairs. I carried it up the stairs and it's no Kirby actually not that heavy.
Thanks again.
Les
