F&G Eureka Motor Issues..

[vintagekitchen]

This is so sad. Decided to work on the F&G Eureka's today. Out of the 4, (1 brandywine, 1 big bad orange BOL, and 2 blue), 2 of the motors are totally shot, and 2 are probably repairable. Which means I must choose which 2 to repair, argh..

I know the brandyine will be fixed, its soooo pretty! I wanted to fix one of the blue and the big bad orange, (one of the blues was obtained as a parts machine). The blue will be an easier repair, as it just needs the motor replaced, the orange is a wreck, (shot zipper, every screw in it solid rust, etc etc).

I hate when a machine I wanted to fix is relegated to the parts pile..

On a side issue.......

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">I believe you recently sold a Compact on eBay.  </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">I was the buyer.  It arrived on Friday in SUPER condition.  Did some cleaning and WOW!   I love it.  Perfect size for the trailer we just bought.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Thanks and Kudos for being a great seller!</span>

It is a shame when that happens, you could always restore the others with new parts, but they are few and far between these days.

Compact

OMG, it was you!! I feel so much better now that I know someone from here got it. I was so worried it was gonna get beat up and used to death in some crummy nasty place that I almost kept it even though I dont really have the room and prefer canisters with powerhead. Now I know it went to a good home, YAY!

Speaking of ebay

I think, maybe, possibly, god I hope, that it was Dialanap who got the Big Bad Orange Eureka. If so, maybe he will confirm, and then I will know both of them went to good homes..

A good home.....

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Today we take possession of the trailer we bought.  It is in an "all male" campground, called Jones Pond, in Angelica, NY.  That's about 60 miles from here.  </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">So.... the Compact moves to it's new home.  It will be used and cherished in these new surroundings.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"> </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">So glad it came from someone I can trust!</span>
