Hello, I really don't post much but thought I would show some of the vacuum restorations that I'm working on. I do a lot of Hoover, Eureka and Dyson tear downs and restorations. Thought it might be fun to show some of this stuff. I'm going to start off with a Dyson DC 41 that I got off of Ebay for cheap. This thing was a real mess, with a lot of hair in the brush roll, dirty cyclone and what not. I decided to completely tear it apart as I wanted to see how these ball vacuums are put together. This is the vacuum as I got it.

Some photos of the cleaning head with brush roll. Look at all the hair! Am amazed that people let stuff get like this! Hair was jammed all the way to the end caps. The clear cleaning heads on the new Dyson's tends to cloud-up pretty quickly from dirt and sand in the carpet, so after I wash it out I just spay the inside with some Krylon clear coat paint. It's not perfect but it does the trick to make them clear again.

Here's the Cyclone and bin. Bin was so clouded that I just bought a new on Ebay. You can see that the motor filter doesn't seem to be doing it's job as there's a lot of dust on the inner part going right to the motor. I have many Dyson's and the clear bins on the older ones don't cloud as much as the newer stuff.

Here's the Dyson all cleaned and ready for assembly. Next photo is the empty casing, then the motor, motor cover, outer casing, more crap and some switch detail.

Just finished putting the Dyson all back together. I ordered a new clear bin which took awhile to arrive. I have it shown with it's original purple cyclone assembly and the with a blue cyclone assembly that I had laying around. I kind of like it better with the blue one.
