Finally got my orange/brown DAM

Very cheap but fortunately in great shape (lots of elbow grease on metal casing-rubbing compound and car wax really works) Looks awesome!

Needs a new belt....thought I had the right one but seemed wider than old one and rubbed on metal cover. Which are the correct belts (width measurement when new). Also....need a new or good used brown rub strip.

Thanks

Here in the UK the Dial-A-Matics were (rather confusingly) called Convertibles and are very rare, though I do hope to procure one some day. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Congratulations on purchasing your DAM.

As John said though, pictures are MANDATORY! :)

DAM

I had the blue version. It was my first vac. I bought it used, should have bought new. It kept breaking down, wish I would have gotten it fixed. My all time favorite vac, and I have tried them all. So quiet, easy to use, loved the tool set up.

Did you get two or is the other one one that you already owned?

Belts

Those look excellent, DAMs are the pinnacle of vacuum development in my opinion. I was under the impression that the wide belts were used on the non powerdrive models and the powerdrive models used the narrower belts. I own 2 power drive models and one time was given the belt for a non powerdrive model. I will see if I can locate it and get you a width.

Thanks for the compliments....pic is a little fuzzy. The DAM on the right is one I've had for awhile.
Thanks for checking on the belt width
