Wow, glad you put the pictures up. It is a shame but one good thing is that the self-cooled motor, save for the suction fans, is spared exposure to a lot of the mess.
I too don't quite get how you can spend that much money and not take care of your investment. But, to each his own.
Anyway, it still looks like an adventure to me and I hope it works out well for you.
i just noticed I have been spelling your name wrong. lol I didn't brought my E2 two speed new either. I brought at ebay. It needed some cleaning when I got it. It's second time I take apart.
