I'll probably go back and get it this week. The man I bought it from called me today to fix his sons laptop and I will ask his wife how about it. If I don’t pick it up it will probably end up in the dump. One of the other reasons that I didn’t want it to begin with was the motor really sounded bad. I know the bearings are worn.
Thinking back the poor suction was probably due to a misaligned gasket when I put the motor back together. I didn’t test the suction to begin with, as it was really gross. The pre-filter was caked with kitty litter, so I had no choice but to break down the whole thing and wash the non electrical parts. I just can’t stand not knowing how dirty the fans and motor are and it would have smelled horribly.
So yes I will ask about it although there are a few other vacuums that I would rather have. If nothing else I would be happy to take it to the convention and we can take it apart. I also have a Kirby Sanitronic that needs its bearings greased.
Yes I did have a green Hoover Slimline when I was about five years old. My grandmother had given it to me as a Christmas present. One of the neat things I remember about the Slimline was that it had a place where the user could add a drop of oil for the bearings, underneath the cardboard that surrounds the motor. Someone please correct me if my memory is incorrect.
Thanks for everyone’s feedback,
Kenny L.
