I remember seeing one of these on an online vacuum museum, always wanted one! I can't find any old ads or pics of any in other collections. I've had this for a long time, one of my first antique vacs. The armature needs rewound, sadly I can't use it until it's replaced. :( But anyhow, here she is all polished up!

Over the years I managed to get two different part donor premier's, a much older Duplex and a 'newer' duplex and surprisingly neither of them would work. The armature was the same but the length and assembly of the belt pulleys varied too greatly. I guess they changed up the design of them several times over the years.

Any electric motor repair shop should be able to re-wind it. It costs of course, but its a once in a lifetime thing. Re-winding an armature is really not very DIY unless you know what you are doing and have excessive patience. You have to be very precise with everything and many people do not have these tools available nor can afford them.
This is the basic process of rewinding a (large) motor: | ||

Hoover 300, thank you very much for finding that! The AV-1 and the 37 appear to have been produced at the same time, I just hope this donor machine works!
