Remember this nice dark green Hoover PowerMax Supreme?
Well, the cut powernozzle cord has been replaced with a gray 3 wire cord from a computer power cord with lots of slack and a strain relief down on the head, so the 3 pin functions work as intended. Final thing was to replace the cut cord on the cordwinder.
Took the vacuum apart so the parts could be washed up, pretty darn clean inside all it needed was new filter media. But the cordwinder!!!
Musta sat in a very damp enviroment as the mainspring was corroded and so rusty the spring couldn't slide along itself, rusty patches catching on each other fouling up the mechanism.
I'd just cleaned up a cordwinder on the Sanyo and since this Hoover is otherwise in fine shape I wasn't going to give up on it.
