Using a different motor?
Thanks for the advice. I’m new in this forum, but what a great site. I just love looking at the old vacuums that people post. I like to restore older appliances as the quality of many older things is far superior to newer ones. Take this Vorwerk Vacuum. It may be an antique and most people scratch their heads when they look at it, it is probably the most useful vacuum I have. It is a shop-vac, a blower, a floor polisher and a regular household vacuum all in a tiny lightweight package. I have a couple of questions to the “vacuum experts” out there…
Has anyone tried to use a different motor (preferable from a newer model) in another (vintage) vacuum? I am contemplating this “motor transplant” for the Vorwerk. Any suggestions or stories about past experiences (even with other models)?
If the “patient” does not make it,” I wonder if there is a comparable new North American model to the old Kobold?
Thanks. Matt.
