Checkrate/Likes Got this off Craigslist today, fan was shot to pieces but luckily I had a spare! It runs wonderfully with no audible bearing damage from the destroyed fan.

Checkrate/Likes Great find. I have it's english cousin the 912, they do clean well don't they! Mine vibrates the furniture with nothing more than a new belt. Also handy to keep by for burgulars. In the UK you're not allowed to shoot intruders, and police will look for a baseball bat nd similar, but who would suspect an old Hoover!

Checkrate/Likes *Youre right!* They are just about unbeatable!and really, even though they are terribly heavy, they are not hard to operate.

Checkrate/Likes *It had a rough life* Upon taking her apart every single blade on the fan was broken, it was packed full of crud from the fan chamber to the bag opening. Included in that crud were nails, button batteries, two small magnets, bits of a ballpoint pen cartridge, plastic wrappers, stones, hairpins, etc. Luckily the bearings on the motor are fine and I had a replacement fan. Other than that she's still a spring chicken!
