Servicing & restoring ( a bit) a classic vacuum ....and paying attention to some of the details ...can really ad to try vacuums’ effectiveness. Here, I work on a just arrived Rainbow D4 SE dated 1986. I addressed a commonly overlooked ( I think) area on the power-nozzle....the gasket/rubber/foam that seals the bottom plate ...on the inside ...& helps keep the airflow/dust going where it’s designed to go. This is my 2nd power-nozzle where I’ve replaced the foam that had SO deteriorated. I also replaced foam sealing the motor off as one photo shows it’s completely gone.
Hope this encourages any of you to take another look at yours...& see if it needs reviving as well. |

Way better gasket so it makes air tight seal to the carpet. Putting a sponge Or filter next to motor to stop motor from moving.
Nice job overall. Part of metal plate if brushes on brush roll hit to you could cut that part out. Nice attention to detail it will be quieter and more effectient and effective. Thanks for that. It makes small details can be fixed. Les |

I believe eureka made a multitude of power nozzles. Compact, Fairfax, rainbow, filter queen, Electrolux. I may be a little off on those just naming off the top of my head.
I was using my compact(eureka) power nozzle and belt came off. I'm going to do these similar things to mine since I'll have the plate off. Like I said good thread. Les |
