 will a d50 armature work in a 519? I can't seem to find anything anywhere for the OEM replacement style for a 519, my 519 the commentator is very badly worn down likely from its last owners, or if anyone knows which ones will fit in it, it would be appreciated as id like to keep this machine as long as I can | ||

the coils are fine, the armature is just looking bad, the machine still runs but Im concerned about it looking alot like this example, I've never seen a motor commutator this worn down, but this about the same condition of my 519's

CaptChar If the vacuum was used in tool & accessory mode more than carpet mode, the motor will spin faster and at a higher RPM which will cause greater wear to the commutator bars over time. Another rather more simple factor - it was used a lot, for a long time. ie. a neat freak that vacuumed every day, every other day, for years or maybe decades. | ||

Husky, Arent the 500 series Kirby's single speed machines?
But its just a mystery what would have worn this machine down so much, unless its not had a real servicing before I got it, I do have the original manual with it and its purchase date. If these machines had hour meters on them... lol
The 509 I have is 76 years old and I think was tossed in a closet or basement and forgotten about, only really has some corrosion, and slight rust on the shielded cable for the safety switch, its the oldest machine I have | ||
