Received the DS-80
And it scared the hell out of me. On the plus side, it is completely original. Bag is in awesome shape. Cord is great. All trim is good.
As I'm looking it over, I notice a piece of duct tape on the fan casing. I pulled it off and sure enough there is a small hole in the case. I figure obviously the prior owner picked up something they shouldn't have and it broke the casing. I then assume the fan is probably also toast. Then I figure if that's true, since they taped up the casing, that they continued to use it with a broken fan, thus the front bearing is toast too. I muster up the courage to plug it in and turn it on. It purrs like a kitten. No vibration or roar from a broken fan and no squeal from bad bearings. Just a whistle from the hole in the fan casing. I checked the fan and it is metal, not plastic. Yay! So now I am in the market for a new used fan casing for a DS-50/80. The rest of the machine, while dirty is not badly scratched and will buff up nicely. I expected the worst, but it came out really well. If anyone is interested, I'll post before and after pictures. Now the Omega Handi Butler I bought on eBay, that's a different story. | ||
