I got this Simplicity Synergy today at the Big Saver today for $15! It hasn't really been cared for that well, but I'll be able to fix it. I tried it, and the clean air motor ran, but the brushroll motor did not. I hope that won't be a problem. The back plastic piece is broken in a way that the hose flops around everywhere unless it is taped over. How much does that back plastic piece cost? This has been my dream vacuum for many years and I want this one to be as clean and nice as possible. I'm going to the vac shop on Monday to get a pack of bags and possibly filters. Does anyone know the age of this machine?

After Novus-ing the plastic for an hour...
I got this machine looking much more like a Simplicity now than it did. I used Goo-Gone (great stuff) to remove the $14.99 price tag and some gummy stuff on the power head. I used Novus No. 2 to remove the light scratches and buffed it with Novus No. 1. I also cleaned and polished the headlight lenses. I'm going Monday to get some bags and hopefully that one plastic piece for the back.

While cleaning the bag chamber out, I noticed the the charcoal pre-motor filter has a very poor seal. There is at least a 1/16th inch gap. What gives? I have a hard time believing it came from the factory with such a poor seal. Should I buy a new filter frame or what?

filter frame That's odd. If a new frame is no thicker, go to a hardware or big box store and buy a window air conditioner filter for two bucks, then cut it to size to fit between the frame and body.? My folks had a low end Simplicity and hated it because the brush roll did not stop when the hose was attached. | ||

Thank you, Tom
I went to the vac shop on the other side of town today and got a pack of bags. I took the machine in, and we discovered that there was absolutely no suction on the cleaner head and so the proprietor suggested that the fan was busted. I bought a fan and went to put it in, and figured out that the sharp curve right after the direct air motor was clogged up real good. I had to use a coat hanger to dig out the clog and suck it up with the Electrolux 1205. One thing's for sure. I much rather have a brand new S40P in Black Cherry. I see they fixed the problem with the plastic piece that the hose sits in. The design on the old one forced you to pull the hose out instead of up which causes extreme stress on on area of plastic on the back. On the new ones, you just pull up.
