EPIC RAINBOW SCORE!

Update

I called my local Rainbow dealer (soon to be Boss) and he said the pulsing was most likely a controller about to fail. So I have THAT to look forward to. I'm taking the machine tomorrow so he can take a look at it, and I'm also going to get information about selling Rainbows.

Clayton,
I am a dealer and service tech for the distributor in NY, shoot me a call or text sometime 607-242-9708 I would love to talk to you a little bit about the rainbow opportunity and the issue that you are having with your rainbow.

Spa treatment! Again!

I went to the Rainbow dealer today and got some more information about becoming a salesman. I took my Rainbow E2 Gold, and he was so impressed by how clean it was, that he asked me to take one of his refurbished machines (an E2 Platinum) home and clean the fans and fan housings because it still smelled. In return, I get $30 and a bottle of Fresh Air. I'm taking the E2 Platinum back tomorrow and I will also be going to a deer show (NOT my thing, but there will be a Rainbow booth) to talk about Rainbows.

I'm EXTREMELY impressed with your ability to tear down, clean, and reassemble your machine. I remember when the two speed model just had come out, I had to sit for four hours listening to the head of Rainbow's engineering department explain to us how to do just that. Hated having to buy an anti-static mat for the controller. Many times, just as an FYI, dust on the controller board will cause the intermittent 'tick' you are hearing on low speed. Be sure to blow out the controller with compressed air. Great Job!

Thank you! Yes, I did blow out the controllers, but not with compressed air. I used to have some canned compressed air, but it ran out. Now I just need to learn how to tear apart a D series. My D4 and D3 both need some work. Especially my D3 with its vibrating problem.

Congratulations..

2 Two weeks ago, I found an E1 for $19.99. Was missing the non-electric hose, wands and the exhaust cover. I did take it apart to clean fan filter, which was very clean. The separator was a tiny bit tight to come off, I removed it carefully.

I considered keeping it and replacing my SE until the Rainbow Dealer/Repair Tech. talked me out of it. He said, they can replace and work on the older models easily and less expensively than the E series. I think because the repairs involve "modules" instead of separate parts. So I will be selling the E1.

Update

My boss called me today and said that he had two MORE Rainbows for me to clean - and boy are these filthy. They're both E2 Gold, so they should be a piece of cake. He's paying me a pretty penny to fix them since they're so dirty. He said he wanted them just as clean as mine. However, mine was even dirtier when I found it. I also got a free Rainmate IL from working the booth at the deer show yesterday. So that's really awesome. I'm running it right now and I love it.
