I hope that you whittled him on the price because I watched it for about a month. I have a zb89 that’s lacking a few things and seriously considered this one to fill in the gaps. The Canadian Lux models are my new obsession. |

Motors tend to have some wind down noise. Im only referencing my TriStar/compact and royal. There motors have fan housing. The fans have to spin down as if it stopped suddenly it could ruin it.
I noticed on my royal 4150 too has a wind down. I'm just attributing it to the fans. If it's a little unpleasant that's different but wind down fans worn its not bad. Nice job on the paint. Les |

I love the green. If you painted from chrome handle for power nozzle to the power nozzle. If you painted it one solid color it may be more aestetically pleasing.
I don't know what the filter looks like but here's an idea. If you have a housing and template for the filter this idea may work. I have two filters pictured a shop vac filter and a shark filter. There probably would allow too much air or not enough. The shop vac white pleated filter would likely be similar to original filter. Compact and some cannisters have cloth bags you put vacuum bags in. If you used that material it could work. I threw slot of ideas hopefully something helps. Les
