Super J help
Beerad,Not being finicky.Last 2 days have demanded workbench time,not computer.The Super J was similar to the Golden J that folowed the 1205 with larger,more powerful motor and without the above terminal kit.General hints--The bearing replacement was a common and helpful repair.--CAUTION-Anytime you turn nut on front fan, cover fan with rag to prevent cuts to hand!--wires to cordwinder,I still remember my first instructions of"black & white wire together(like b&w TV)&blue on the bottom(CW terminal)--It is possible to turn rear fan upside down and still have everything fit.Remember how & where air moves and point opening of upper & lower fan toward bag.--remove rear bearing cap,by tapping with flat screwdriver & add 10-20 drops oil until wet,not DRY.--Carbon brushes should be marked with scratches on brush & holder or motor(east-west on one and north-south scrath on other)so they are not turned upside down when reinstalling.A carbon brush will have 1 'clean' side & 1 side with normal slightly buned edge where spark comes off armature.When reinstalling 1 side is up & 1 down in direction of rotation.--Can add more later.Any specific questions?--The 'custom' paint should look good.Have often thought this should be an option when repainting scratched machines.(Just look at colors used by Sears & Hoover!)
