Electrolux model B-21 shampooer

[leo]

My shampooer set of our smoke alarm and the rpm’s dropped considerably. Tore it down. Measured field windings for absense of continuity and for resistance. All checks out. I’m sure the armature is burnt. I could not remove the upper bearing to get to the commutator to test. All gears, recoil, etc. in good shape. Is it possible to find an armature for this? And the top commutator and bearing plastic housing? If not, would anyone be interested in this old girl?

Hi,

Doug Smith, a Canadian collector, would likely able to assist you. His email address is on his webpage:

In case you are unaware, your B-21 is the color-mate to the ZB89 or 89E & ZB87 or 87E tank-type vacuum cleaners.

Hope you can get it running again.

Thank you Paul. I will attempt to contact Doug. I’d rather not send this unit to the landfill but rather repair it or donate it.

You're welcome, Leo. Keep us posted.
