~ Actually, Model G PN cords were light gray until the later run of the machines when the cords were made in two sections and were light turquiose. Same for the R. They were never white but light gray then light turquoise with the newer two-section cord. That being said, the PN cord on this G looks like the one for the M0del L -- note the strain relief on the handle end. |

So there is actually a metal plate on each side of the brush roll that is holding it down. They are in there! I'm assuming that is what you mean rugsucker? |

Not the chrome parts in picture but a separate strip on each side that is not in picture.A narrow black strip that goes under screw and holds bearing down with tab in notch. |

HMMMMM. Someone on another group said the same thing! Gosh I have no idea what they would actually look like. Where would I find these parts? Do you know the actual part name? Thanks for your help!! |

I would just call it a bearing retainer.If you rotate the bearings with notch facing bottom plate you can imagine how it fits.I would think any nearby vac store or DTD salesman would have parts or extra PN. |

Although noisy, the PN1 shouldn't sound like something is rattling. I can post what one looks like assembled correctly with the bearing retainer, if you like.

Question, Should the bearings be lubricated? If so any recomondations on what can be used to do that? Thanks much! |

They should be cleaned first.....then fresh, non-detergent 20wt oil pushed through the pores.

So does anyone actually have any spare bearing keepers that they can part with? If not I guess I will try to find a vacuum shop and see what they can do! |
