Get It All Done
That machine will have to be pulled apart to buff it. May as well recondition it while it's apart. Does it need bearings, brushes, bumpers, bulb, lubrication, wheels, or anything else? Bag conversion? Now would be the time to do it.
There's an outfit that specializes in reconditioning these machines, and I'll be darned if I can find a link for their store, which is pretty darn strange to me. Don't know how much they charge, or if they're well regarded, but here's a link for more info: CLICK HERE TO GO TO ornery's LINK | ||
