OK Guys...
John, there are really no Decent Vac Centers near me, I mean, the one's I have had to deal with over the Years, are run by people who are no different then Ira, so I'm kinda stuck here, unless someone can stop by my House and take a look at my 1020 you know... Heck, one local Vacuum Center kept my old Kenmore Twin Fan Magicord Self-Propelled Upright for at least 5 Years before giving it back to me and it was only there for one new Fan, but when I got it back, I noticed they had striped quite a few Parts off of it as well, so honestly, it's really no wonder my Mom threw it out only just a few Years ago. 
And Erick, the Sparking is VERY TINY, can ONLY been seen from the very back of the Vacuum, you know, when you are behind Pushing it and just plain Flicker a little, so it's not like a large constant Spark or anything you know, in fact, you really sorta have to look hard to see it... Plus, when you engage the High Speed Switch, the Sparking doesn't get any worse or bigger at all, Heck, it doesn't even Flicker much more, so I dunno...?
Also yes, the Fan is PERFECT and Spins very freely, here's a Photo so you can see it...
