Dread to ask the price

Fifty pounds would own it.

That's pretty good considering there rarity.  Have seen people asking double that on ebay.

You lot are stitching me up

On the subject of your motor Croftie, if you isolated the burning smell to the brushroll, the carbon you see in the post motor area isn't that much. Carbons slowly wear over time and a little dust is to be expected.

Stick some new filters in (or wash the old ones) and wait till the motor conks out of its own accord.

PS - Nice rivet job somebody did there. Looks like it had a motor some time in the past anyway.

[Croftie]

Yep wasn't sure if death was imminent and didn't fancy ruining the new filters, got a genuine post motor filter so wasn't cheap.

Long story, but it's definitely not had a motor.

Ordered a new motor housing but I'm now being told their supplier is out of stock. Any ideas where I can get one?

[Madrat]

M vacs or ebay

[MVacs]

We have loads of them. I'll ask Claire to email you.

[Croftie]

Ok. Don't suppose you also have a new Brush Housing?

We have everything. 

[Croftie]

Do you have motor housing, ametek retaining ring and new Brush Housing for less than £20? 

[autovac01]

He said he had everything, he didn't say it was free 

[Croftie]

I can get that lot for £18, although the Brush Housing isn't new. So around £20 is fair.
