What would carbon brush damage look like? Would it be chipped? Also are replacement brushes and bearings available? | ||

Take the exhaust cap off, turn ON the machine, and look. Do you see lots of sparks (a small line of blue sparks is normal, but it's a straight line)? Can you smell an acrid smell of burning electrical? If not, the carbons are not the problem. Bearings for 23 years old, so they should be replaced. I'm shocked that a vac shop won't replace bearings. They must be independently wealthy. I replace bearings all the time. Bearings are very much available.

Update I tried using it today and all of the sudden the motor slow down and noticed a burning smell so I turned it off right away. Time to bring the old Kirby Tradition up from the basement until I get this figured out! | ||

Needs armature..... Well, I found a shop to look at the motor and it turns out it is a bad armature. They didn't have the parts to replace it. Does anyone have one that they want to part with? Or possibly a part# I can search for? | ||

Not surprised about the shop thing I work at a vac/sew shop that's only been open for 6 years, and if my coworker has a motor with bad bearings, he tells them they a new motor. Bearing replacement wasn't an idea until I showed up. I even had to bring a puller because we didn't have one. | ||
