Hi, this is my first post, im looking foward to discussing with all of you.
im trained as a auto mechanic but just got a job at a vac shop. I'm into antique fans (and restore them) and unfortunatly ive been bit by the vac bug (dammit)but have always had a intrest in them.
anyway, i picked up a working Delco 300 upright, its all metal, has phone dial wheels (only two wheels in the back) a top mounted motor with alu fan, and side discharge. it does have a brush roll.
does anyone know anything about this fossil?
also, the commutator has a slight flat spot in it (jammed at one time?) will this wear away or does it need to be "turned"?

its really loud (bad bearings) and the armature sparks a real lot (brushes ok) unless its supposed to spark like that, all vac motors will spark to some extent but this is pretty bad.
