I don't know what else you can call this on. So I picked up a green 10 amp Fantom Fury from my thrift store for $10. It's in pretty good solid shape but the only problem with it is that the motor was bad on it(Tried fixing but couldn't get it to work). So I thought about taking everything out that was green on that fury and swap the other parts out from my orange 12 amp Fantom Fury I've had for about 6-7 years cause I like the green color better on the fury and it happens to be my favorite color on a vacuum of all time and orange is my least favorite color on a vacuum of all time. Always wanted to have a working green Fantom Fury for a long time now.
I'll show pictures tonight how it turns out but it is overall working

Clever!

I also have a 10 Amp Fury with a bad motor, but I have 2 orange models so this might be worth a try for me also

Wasn't that hard at all. I now have a Fantom fury 10 amp that has a 12 amp from my orange model with no thermal reset button, which however is supposed to come with one on these 10 amp models, but again this is really a orange model.

Everything I have kept left from the orange model and what's left of the actual 10 amp model with a thermal rest button I'm throwing out.

Don't throw those parts out! Those could fetch some money on eBay if they were cleaned up.

He's right.

Put them in the dishwasher, then list them.  Make some money and help others keep alive their vac.

I did cleaned them up and just boxed them up for storage. I haven't gotten around of selling stuff yet cause I've been very busy lately, probably in the summer tme I'll just send a shout out to anybody who is looking for parts before I'll list them on ebay
