Oreck Dual Stack Nozzle/Base

[broomvac]

Hey everyone,

I am looking to buy a new or used nozzle/base/chassis from an Oreck Dual Stack DS1600HY or DS1600RY (16 in model). Unfortunately, mine is cracked. Let me know if you have this and I would be happy to make a deal with you.

Thanks,
broomvac

You can use a plastic welder to fix cracks.

Thank you for the advice. I considered plastic welding, but since the crack was clean and I’ve had good luck with super glue mending ABS, I went that route. First, I drilled the end of the crack to eliminate any stress at its tip, preventing it from potentially spreading. Next,I filled it with Super Glue Ultra Liquid, and finally finished it off with a reinforcing brace at the other end of the crack. I bet this is stronger than it was before the crack.

That said, since I am a perfectionist, I am still interested in finding a crack-free replacement. If anyone has one of these, please still let me know! I would be interested in buying it.
