Lose money in a dirty motor? If you charge $79.99 labor and you spend about 45 minutes servicing the motor, it shouldn't create a loss of money after you add the charge for the flange gasket, flange plate, separator, bearings, etc. If it needs the traditional rebuild parts- sans the armature- we charge $79.99 plus parts. If it has ok bearings and just needs to be cleaned out, we charge $99.99 plus parts. Either way, you will make money on a Rainbow service as long as you are replacing the basic parts. I won't touch a D-3 unless I can remove the flange screws in front of the customer and quote them on the repair. | ||

The only time I will be touching a D2 is when I'm offering a "trade" on a new vacuum for the valuable parts that it has to offer (yes, that sentence is laced with sarcasm). I am incorporating a very adorable D2 into the vintage vacuum display in the store...its a space-taking display in the ceiling. A tip for fixing a D2 motor: Keep a small bottle of fresh vodka or another strong alcoholic beverage close by. Wear leather driving gloves- to keep your hands from being skinned up each time the motor slips. | ||
