I received my 2019 Sanitaire SC886F from ebay today! I already pulled the crappy new plastic topped motor and dropped in a brand new old stock metal topped motor. Looks great with all the other Sanitaires. My oldest one is my 1983 SC686B and my newest is my 2019 SC886F i just got today

I've got an SC888

that is a cloth shake out bag. Are any of yours top fill with paper or hepa bags? I want to convert mine to top fill while retaining the outer cloth and adding a zipper or buying a new bag that zips already. Any thoughts?

My 1987 SC888B is an F&G setup

So far all of my Sanitaires are shakeout except the 888 is F&G. One of my 886Es has a dual porpoise bag. My 2004 886E has it. You could just get an ST outer bag and go that route. I plan on doing that to one of them at some point

Thanks for the info

I don"t blame you for swapping out the motor on the new one. Those elder 7amp motors are some of the most robust I've ever used! I hear there's an 8.4amp motor also out there, was thinking of dropping it in to a 'blue line' Sanitaire if that's possible. If Les reads this he'll set me straight on that.

I've never heard of an 8.4 amp. Perfect/Oreck has an 870

That equals 7.5 amps. There was never an 8.4 amp in the redline 600 or 800 series or blue lines. I actually did put a Perfect motor in one of my Sanitaires. No difference in power though eventhough the 7.5 amp motor does spin a little faster

Thanks for the clarification

on that. The source was a little sketchy. Have you seen the commercial 'double wide' Sanitaire?

Weird contraption...

Yeah, somebody posted a link to a YouTube video about the dual Sanitaire last fall. Very strange machine, essentially two vacuums on a tandem chassis with two bags, a single power switch and a handle that looked like it was borrowed from a lawnmower. I can only imagine the noise that would make.

I'd definitely love to have one. They are very rare and

looking. If i had one I'd probably paint the hood chrome to match all my 886s and 888 but then again idk. I like originality. When restoring my 1983 SC686 and 1987 SC886 i made sure everything was new old stock and time period correct down to the white vg2 bristles instead of the newer blue. One day I'll have one of them double wides. First i need an 887 though. The only 800 series i haven't owned yet. I keep buying more 886s lol

There is an 8.4 amp motor that will fit your blue line. I asked and yes. I posted it in the other thread. It's the cheapest new one I could find.
I'm didn't read this earlier. There tends to be know it all annoying people in this section. Wait, I just made a comment about myself how ironic.
If my eureka 7.0 pulled 142 CFM my blue line 141 CFM I'd imagine this could get over 150 CFM. I did own the 1030z that got 140+ highest of said tests. If I got machines that I worked on pulling those numbers I may know something.
