This helps greatly. I took the switch apart and now I think I am going to have to replace it. I also want to replace the white cord with a genuine one. Your help is appreciated. |

Here's a simple way to remember one speed canister vacuum wiring.
There are two leads from motor. Two from cord. Two from switch. Two from power nozzle receptacle. Connect in this order: One cord to One motor and One receptacle One cord to one switch One motor to one receptacle to one switch In the end, there should be three wire nuts holding the eight leads in the above connections. |

The Ametek "Lamb" motor used in the Tri-Star was also used in many other cleaners (Filter Queen, Air-Way, Kenmore, Eureka, etc.). I learned how to take them apart and work on them years ago. It CAN be done, but experience is needed to do it properly. I ruined many at first before I learned. You can replace the ball bearings almost as inexpensively as greasing with high-temp bearing grease. The ball bearings are (last time I bought any) about $3 each. Most Tri-Star "Lamb" motors are double ball bearing motors.
