Fred, I also just recently bought a legend II and I love it also and got to use it 3 times before the fan blew apart into pieces. Mine also has the same rattle to it as yours and Rob's. Mine is also very loose and the light does not stay up on it's own. Sam | ||

My Hertiage II makes the same rattling noise. Haven't played with it to try and discover the cause. Once I "unpack my stuff" I'll spend some time with it. It always bothered me that such a great machine would create such rachet. | ||

Bulbs & Rattling noises...
Hello all. Some of this is/was touched on above ^^^^^ !!! If the filament is still good in the bulb, 9 out of 10 times it is the lead (solder) contact(s) (depending on model) on the bulb that have partially or completely arced away. You may attempt adding a bit back (ONLY if you feel qualified to do so--LOL.) to the bulb. Personally I feel the time getting out the "iron," waiting for it to heat & cool, etc; it's easier & time-wise more cost effective to just replace them. (mho) ($2.00 to $5.00 each depending on who, where & which model!!!) Most rattling noises in my experiences are caused by an old/loose/stretched belt (jumping up & down), loose fitting brushroll in the rug plate, "prongs" may be spread apart slightly (pre-G Series models), or a fan out of balance (i.e., on it's last leg, cracked, chipped, "something" literally stuck into the fan, etc.). Not to say the loose headlight pivot is not contributing to it as well. (You have to be doing some [serious] vacuuming to make the headlight jump by itself, (unless you have some "off-road surfaces," bumpy!!!) Hope all is well in vacuum collector land!!! Bill | ||
