Mine works perfectly. The real problem is those clear hoses get stiff and break , I replaced them with automotive vacuum hose."Like operates the heater and ac systems ." | ||

The one in my LX is corroded to beyond recognition-the cleaner works otherwise. | ||

I've never worked on anything older than a 1205 but when I got my Super J, the bag ejector lockout switch had shorted out and melted so that the machine always thought it had a full bag. It took several hours of looking online—and it really helped when somebody on this site gave me the proper name for the part—to find a replacement.

Here's what the inside of the early Model 60 looks like. The first picture is just as the front end comes off the unit, the second is a side shot (if you notice the little lever to the side, thats what the basement/attic key clamps on to), the third is with some of the stuff out of the way and the forth is of the front opening as to how the hose connects.
If all the pieces are still there and just disabled it shouldn't be a problem. If however the control valve, diaphram or some of the levers and springs are missing then you will have to find a scrap unit to get the parts off of. As a side note the clear plastic tubing is still used, just go to Petsmart and go where the fish are. The tubing is used for air into the tank from the pump. | ||

Ok, reassembling the control valve;
1st pic shows where the diaphram of the control valve 2nd pic shows the different parts 3rd pic shows the diaphram in the base with the metal disk in the diaphram 4th pic shows the body of the control valve as well as the early pressure pin 5th pic shows the pin seated in the body of the valve 6th pic shows the top of the control valve from the underside to show where the spring goes 7th pic shows the body and top screwed together 8th pic shows the body and top screwed together from the underside showing the pin From there you just place the body of the valve with the pin down on top of the diaphram in the base and screw it down with the 2 screws so it looks like photo 1 or 3 of reply #11 | ||

So the Ejector worked without attaching the line. Im going to put it on, but i still havnt gotton to petSmart. If its as sensitive as it is now (no adjuster dial) can I adjust the sensitivity in the black plastic shroud (BikerRay's 7th picture) by turning the screw?
Thanks! | ||
