Surely if it's a motor fault you should still be able to find another in a scrap Turbopower? The Junior model of this was sold well into the decade beginning 2000 so I'd expect there to be plenty about still. | ||

I guess you could wait till one pops up, or a Turbopower Junior and leave this beauty in the attic till then :D What a coincidence... Today my Dyson DC14 Origin blew up, it's around 10 years old and had a hard life | ||

Awesome. I made a vid on my Youtube channel today of my DC14 burning out and making grumbly noises. I will replace the motor though, it is very powerful and I had intentionally purchased it for spares :o I ended up scrapping the original machine lol | ||

Ironically the same thing happened to my 1994 Turbopower 1000 U2812 a couple of years ago and I was in the same situation of being almost certain I would not find a replacement motor, but with a bit of eBay searching I found an early Turbopower 2 with a working 800W motor and a broken chassis/body. After a couple of messages back and forth with the seller he agreed to remove the motor and send it to me for an agreed price.
Less than a week later my Turbopower 1000 was back up and running, albeit with a slightly "downgraded" motor!! Never give up hope. | ||

Damn shame that armature's so far gone, would be an easy fix otherwise! I agree, keep the chassis, motors do crop up, usually with a broken machine clinging around it! | ||
