Very nice George - you certainly spent a bit on this one, a full overhaul. Was it the one you got from VacManTim?

 

[dysondestijl]

Yep, that's the one I did spend a bit on it, most of the stuff was genuine too!

 

[dysondestijl]

This is just HALF of the packaging...

 

[madabouthoovers]

lol - I bet VacManTim wants it back now! Should be good for another few years use, providing the motor is OK. Did you check the carbon brushes on the motor?

 

[rootcyclone]

Well done George You've done a good job

 

[dysondestijl]

Yes I stripped it right down to the motor. Commutator isn't too black and carbons aren't Too bad lol, took a while to get the thing out of this motor housing thing thought lol.

Thanks Tim

When I used to do up Dysons (usually DC07s) for resale, the amount of motors that were arcing out due to shorted armatures was very high, and on pretty much every one, there was plenty of carbon brush length left. I think that so many motors (the YDK type) are ruined long before the brushes wear out, mainly due to users not keeping the filters clean. What you have done by changing out the filters should help prolong the motor's life.

Very nice.

<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Very nice Mr G, You've done a good job there.</span>


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">I'm glad the motors not like two Dyson motors I took out today. I think they've seen better days lol.</span>


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">I wonder why they didn't run well....lol

Ugh that's disgusting James!

 

[madabouthoovers]

That's a hell of a lot of rust - were these vacs left outside, or subjected to flood damage? They look like DC04 motors?

 

[beko1987]

Bet you could get that running. I picked an 04 out of a skip in almost that condition, and after some hammering and wire will it ran!

Did spark like a mutha though!

Hi,

<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Hi Steve, I have no idea what happened to the Dysons before I got hold of them. The YDK motor was dry when I opened the machine up.</span>


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">When I switched on the DC04 with the Amtek motor in it started spitting out water. I very quickly switched it off.</span>


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Both motors came from DC04s. One had a broken handle as well.</span>


 


<span style="font-size: medium; font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Sam I certainly won't be be selling these with those motors in unless I want to be on rogue traders
