What's Dave working on tonight?
Was running the Fairfax and the Fax-A-Matic power nozzle was making a horrendous racket. Took it apart to find the motor had 'ovaled' out its rear bronze bearing. The motor is held in place with two screws through the top of the case, under the Fax-O-Matic stick-on top panel.
I knew I had in the parts bin a very similar power nozzle that has other issues like warping and cracks. Lo and behold, it's a Hoover branded Powermatic of exact same construction with an intact motor. Time for a motor swap. But the Fax-A-Matic has a three wire cord and plug.
