It's a 2-speed suitcase/box style....see pic...If it is a carbon brush, are parts still around and can I replace myself? Thanks. |

Brian, the carbon brushes are still around, as the motor is a common Ametek double-stage motor that is still made to this day, & the same motors were used in Tri-Star & Filter Queen. It might be a good idea if you're handy though to take the brush out of the motor & bring it with you when you go to get the new brushes.
However, before you do that, I would check the wiring first....something tells me the more likely cause of your problem is a loose wire. Hope this helps you out....Rob. |
