Oldskoolguy - You could always replace the foam if it's deteriorated.
huskyVacs - You get ozone whenever you have sparks, so that's normal. At least assuming you're smelling it because you're shoving your nose in the motor. Brushes shouldn't spark a lot (ideally not at all, but they do because of reasons). Mostly likely yours sparks more on low speed because the armature is spinning slow enough to allow that partial contact for a longer period of time. You could always just pull the brushes and see how worn they are. | ||

@ MadMan
It blows the smell out with the air from the motor, And you're close enough to the machine to smell it anyway as it's a hand vac. This summer I'll have to see if I can get one apart and do a tune up on it. Never done it before so I have no idea how, but hoping it won't be too hard. I have one of the earliest models of Royal vacs that is pretty well knackered that I bought for $9 to practice both with repairing and polishing.
