Trash Found Triple S Versamate (Sebo 350/1st Gen Windsor Versamatic)

I would guess that the person made the list as part of an attempt to sell it to someone into DIY repairs; both to inform and insure against lack of disclosure. As for word-processing the list, he or she might be lacking in legible penmanship skill or suffer from a disease such as arthritis. Just saying

Haha i made the list for it to help me keep track of what it needed, we just got a printer that day and i decieded to try it

I thought it looked to perfect, that is what I initially suspected.

Well she's finished! I found out the cause of the powerhead bug and it turns out that I didn't route the wires right and they were getting pinched by a piece of molding every time I'd recline the machine it would shut off the powerhead in certain positions, granted the wires that were pinched have a pretty good pinch in them but when they're not being pinched they work great! I guess all I need to do now is reprint out a laminated brush roll chart indicator that's a better substantial quality compared to what I have in it right now but it's still certainly makes it look great. But honestly I think she's good just the way she is right now. Such a huge sigh of relief that I saved this thing from the crusher but what I can't get over is the condition of the hose, there is not a dent or cut in the hose at all! I don't come across many trash finds, but this I would assume is the holy Grail of trash finds. It was a fun journey fixing up this machine.

Yeah that's what I suspected it was. As long as they dont get pinched again they should be fine. Looks very....orange~!
