More hair...
jamming up the fill tube. My guess is some one found this in a Vac shop dumpster & took it to the Pawn shop for cigarette money.
The motor bearing sound awful dry on wind-down, very dry climate in this part of San Diego. I wonder if i should put the sweet motor from my old white (currently unused) PortaPower in this Dial? The agitator is like new, (the bristles are so long) so i bought without even plugging it in.
Pawn shops always want way too much for their merchandise in my experience & this place was no different, $89...nuts! I paid $15 & traded 2 small air-filtering machines i no longer use for the balance.
I think it will clean up nice, although the hood is pretty scratched up.
The bottom of machine is in excellent shape, the cord looks to be a replacement (being in such good shape) with the wrong color strain-relief (black). Don't know about the power drive yet, saving that for tomorrow. Just wanted to get this machine home where it will be taken care of rather than scrapped.
The place also had a very worn & unsorted Hoover Conquest 18" machine for $200...but i love the Conquest! May have to scrounge up some other tradable (but not really sellable) stuff & do a deal, but no cash this time.
