I wanted to see if anyone can help me. Apparently, the original armature (114960) is no longer available for the 505-S7 models. Everywhere I look, the 114967 is the intended replacement currently available. So, I purchased and received the armature today. It is very similar, but the electromagnetic portion is slightly shorter and the commutator is shifted a little closer to the end of the shaft, such that the brushes would still contact the contacts but close to the inner edge. Nowhere can I find...can the armature be installed without further modification? The shaft dimensions are identical to the original armature shaft. The armature overall diameter is the same as the old one, too. In other words, it fits in the field.

Oh, forget it...it does fit. But make sure the back bearing is seated properly. If the brushes are riding completely within the confines of the commutator's segments you shouldn't have a problem in the world - and as a wise old statesmen once said," GO FOR IT!"....And show some pictures next time!

Tender years...No...Brutal years...Yes! Somehow it survived 78 of them and a countless onslaught of idiots to the very last. Don't ask me how, but when I got it...it was a totaled jaaalllooopyyy!!! What can go wrong will go wrong and not one thing right. So fight the good fight and get her done soon, but not to fast and post a picture or two.

That's a beautiful vacuum cleaner.....

On the armature question, I found out from Kent Oyler that part number 114967 is the armature to install in place of the 114960 (which is no longer available), and no further modifications should be needed!
