The D80 is indeed a great machine! I got mine for $20 off offer up, it had no shine to it. And all it needed in order to run was a new belt! The cord had the insulation torn. Although I ordered a replacement off Amazon, I was sent the wrong cord, and held off on replacing it. The machine didn’t even have the right color cord to begin with. The handle was wrong too, but I kept it because it made look more like Kirby from The Brave Little Toaster which I grew up loving (and because of such, I affectionately named my DS80 “Kirby”). The machine itself looked like it had seen better days, but a year later, I cleaned it out, and polished it, put the right cord (which came from a 561 I scored at goodwill) and switch button on it, and put a new brush (the bearings in the old one died) and bag (the old one had holes) on it. Just yesterday I finally replaced the wheels (1. It had wide front wheels and 2. There were no treads left on all 4 wheels!). Despite that now somehow the bearings in my machine’s motor sound like they’re going bad (and have been for a while), I still love it (then again, I say that about everything old). Ive included 2 photos for a before and after of how my machine looks (I can’t stop talking about it!)
