Junction block/radio interference suppressor. Mica insulators. I think LF&C held on to the use of that stuff for far too long...

Well, I couldn't help myself. I had to get this little guy out to prevent further damage. I cleaned it up and polished it just a little. I didn't want it to get the bed dirty tonight.

I can't get the plate off the bottom (rusted on) yet, but I don't think there isn't anything that won't allow it self to be repaired somehow - even that brush roll. We'll have to see. (Thanks for the compliment John)
There is nothing else to report on with this unit.
The end,
Rick

Almost forgot....Yep, it runs. It fired up immediately, with very little noise. Bearings are a little dry, but will take care of those when I get there. Good strong vibration free airflow. It managed to blow a stream halfway across the driveway.

Thanks for showing the step by step exploratory surgery. I'll be looking forward to seeing the cosmetic reconstruction too.

This Upright is the companion machine to the VC6702 Tank unit. This machine won Best Original at the VCCC convention 2009 in Chicago. By itself. No other entries. Alone. (meaning singular)....

Rick -- need I remind you that we've had this discussion before...
There were in fact, two (two, 2, dos, deux, zwei, due) winners in best-original at the 2009 VCCC Convention in Chicago... It was a tie (I already cleared this up once... see this thread). In fact, I think that's even your handwriting on my blue ribbon.

I know that you love a challenge but.......I do know that you will have it looking like new when it's done. I would have guessed that the suction regulator would have been a height adjustment, learn something new every day!! I think that both your Universal and Fred's GE were beautiful machines. It had to be a tie that year for sure. Jus wonder what this year will bring forth!! Thanks for sharing.

Rick & THEEEeee... Premier...
Hello Rick.
I am glad you were able get this Premier. I L@@K forward to seeing the finished results. Having seen some of your work, I'm sure she will be able to bask in glory again soon, vs. cowering in the dark, damp places she's been.
Keep us updated on her progress. t/b/c (hmmmm?)
Aren't you glad I used the NON-toxic ink? ~~lol~~
Cheers & hagwknd all,
Bill

I always liked the shape of those machines - I'm sure it'll look stunning by the time you're done with it, Rick! By the way, we appear to have the same lamp...

I assume this Universal is some sort of ancestor of the Anser upright?

Thanks for the confidence there guys. I hope it works out, and it will return close to new. Jack, I got my LED lite at Ikea. Do you have those in the UK?
Michael - This IS your machine......it didn't survive the trip down here very well.
Fred - that is my handwriting on the back of the award YOU got for YOUR GE I'm just jealous, that's all...
That Anser is pretty cool lookin' Hans. So what's up with the brush rolls?

We do have Ikea here, and I got mine there too, just a couple of weeks ago! Funny we chose the same colour. It's the kind of thing I like - simple and practical.

Rick --
The Anser was talked about in this thread... the brushroll that was used in it is a Hoover brushroll.

((P.S. I was just jokin' with ya about being ticked off up above. My hands weren't really on my hips. I know that you know that I know that you know we were both winners in 2009.. The GE is here, sittin' on a shelf. I may let you touch it... the GE that is... when you're here in September...))
