Very nice Antoine! The 3 vacuums are looking great :-) .
How are you enjoying the DustCare PB11 powerhead you bought? And how do you find it compares to the TriStar powerhead? One thing I did with my Miracle Mate and Patriot, since they have the original hoses with no powerhead switch and there's no switch on the TriStar, Sebo 350 and Lindhaus PB14 powerheads I use, I made a inline cord on/off switch. I used 2 TriStar pigtail cords and a Leviton inline lamp switch - it's rated for 3 amps, so just enough to handle the amperage from a PN motor. One thing I would suggest doing soon, since your vacuum motors are the original motors, is check and possibly change the carbon brushes, and use a seating stone on the armature. That will extend the life of them as much as possible and prevent a expensive motor replacement due to the armature being damaged by a worn-out carbon brush contacting the armature. It's a common problem with Ametek motors. | ||

No
Problem. I love the VAC hepa bags but I couldn't find any at a reasonable price.
The red and silver is rare 2 speed. The silver 2 speeds were called silver bullets. Atleast a guy who sold them told me this. He also said that if he gave a demonstration it was an easy sale because they cleaned so well. | ||

Antoine, your CXL PN has a geared belt? Those PN's are exceeding rare and hard to come by! Not many of those were made for too long before Aerus Holdings bought TriStar and came out with the EXL. You might want to look into acquiring a spare brushroll, motor and geared belt to have as spares, as those parts are hard to find now....they may even be discontinued. In that case, used parts is all you could do, and the motor possibly there's a new one that has the same gear spacing that could match it? In fact, I do believe one of the Beam powerheads that Electrolux AB produced might have a motor with similar enough spacing between the teeth on the motor spindle for the belt that it might be able to be used in a TriStar CXL geared belt PN.
While you're at it, I would also suggest contacting Patriot in California and buying a couple of the wand adapters they put on the generic PNs like the Douglas PN to adapt them to use with TriStar style wands. Not only so you can use other powerheads in the future, but it also helps with being able to use generic buttonlock wands. And btw, your local vac shop that deals with Hibbert International, JohnnyVac or Tip Top Parts Canada should be able to sell you a carbon brush seating stone, they are stocked by those distributors. | ||
