I have been after one of these World Vacs ever since I used one when I was a kid to vacuum my dad's office. It has literally been twenty-odd years before I've been able to get my hands on one! I cleaned out the motor, which was full of fluff and dirt. Apparently at one point in time something have you got sucked up and it cracked the bearing plate behind the fan. So I guess dirt and everything got blown back into the motor. I was able to repair the crack and get everything cleaned out and looking good inside. I put a new build on it and it already had a new bag in it, it runs great and doesn't sound too bad! I also had to repair the switch retainer, which is the white plastic piece in the picture.
