story


The strange things is, I have a Health Mor sanitation system vacuum, that I did restore 2 years ago. I took it apart to polish, put everything back together and tested it, However the motor ran very slow even though the armature and fan spun in the right direction. So I took it to my friend at my local vacuum store, and he said the issue was the windings in the armature had gone bad, gotten shot. So to fix the problem, I replaced the armature with a salvaged newer armature, that was from a royal upright vacuum from the 1930s, 1940's. The armature was very similar, though not identical to the original one from my Health Mor. I fitted it in and oiled the shafts and both bearings, put everything back together and tested the motor. The motor ran perfectly normal and at normal speed. I then knew what the issue was, why the motor ran so slow. A shot armature.
