The original motor started to burn out but someone kept using it until the carbon brush melted through the rear motor housing! (Part on left) The commutator is scarred and burned. So, I found a NOS motor online and put it in!
The lightomatic got a good bearing lube and is awaiting a new cord, got a polishing. The Kenmore and 825 Hoover got the same but the Kenmore could do with a new cord as well. The Sanyo needs a new fan still. All in all its pretty fun!
