I got this on eBay for a buy it now of $20. I saw it when Kyle was over, and we were to busy fixing a computer that I missed it, and it had no bids. So I emailed the seller and gave it to me for $20. I only took 3 days to get here! It works pretty good. THe power nozzle was just a mess. The cord connecting the power nozzle to the wand was cut, and there wasn't enough cord left on the wand side to fix it, so I made it so there was no power nozzle outlet, and just one full cord. After making it all work out, I found out the power nozzle motor was siezed. And the neck to it was broken. So I just took the power nozzle off my other power tank and put it on here. Then I found another issue. WHen it's on, there is a buzzing noise you can hear, especially when it's on low, so I looked in the back vent, and there is some major sparking going on. So I am thinking the armature is bad? Or the brushes? If anyone knows please comment. But I am going to have my boss take a look at it. The only reason I bought this was because of the handle. I have always wanted one with all of the controls in it. Here are some pics. -Chase |

What model of machine is it? Does it have the speed control on the hose handle, or the body of the machine? PowerTanks are really easy to work on- I'd be happy to post step by step photos. |
