I am so glad I contributed to your amusement.
Other than your sarcasm I guess I have failed to see your contribution. Thank you for your insight.
When I said bought for a song $60, as opposed to the $699- they are trending at, I still got a good price even if I have to replace the power nozzle. The canister, hose and nozzle are all in very good condition, so I don't feel cheated in the least.
I dropped it off at the Sebo dealer last night. He thinks it may be soldered joint on the circuit board. He will test and give me an estimate by tomorrow.
The average user/seller don't have a clue, I have found. I recently purchased an Oreck for $20, posting said "Wife smelled a burning smell and bought a new vacuum." It needed a belt.
I will more than likely continue pressing my luck when it comes to "good" purchases.
