Making sure the rubber seals sit properly
I seem to have not got a picture of the fugging mint second hand motor I got for it... So here it is fitted to the motor housing
Cleaned up nicely though, diffuser bracket screwed in
Speed switch fitted
And all that was refitted to the chassis
Wheels fitted
Changeover valve stuffs refitted
Hopper vibration pad fitted
Then the clamp's big spring

Clamp fitted
Then the clutch, and ah
I forgot the clutch had to go in before the head...
That's better,
but it kept falling out so I popped a screw in just to keep it in place
And back on with the head and on with the cover!
When I tried to take the brushroll apart, I found both bearings were pretty ruined, and it was just so damn soft, so I put a much better used one on! Sadly, not in purple...
Back on with the baseplate
Back on with the cable
Back together with the wand

Done!
New post filter
Faded to buggary, but spotless and working well
I might have mentioned it, but I got given a brand new zorb hopper and 2 tubs of zorb in the past too, by a lady who'se DC25 I fettled. Gave one tub to George for his NIB Zorbster, and kept one!
So, one after video

And despite NEVER having used zorb before, I quickly formed my initial opinions of it... Especially when you dont wait for it to dry before vacuuming it up...
And then I used it for October! Because I had plans, so it may as well have been out and ready!

My cunning plan was a nice detailed Zorb video, what with us having a filthy beige carpet, it was a good test bed. But I happened upon some vintage DA/DC01 era Zorb!

Shame the box was trashed, and it didnt have the bottle of spray, but for £5 I'm happy with it! So I started to plan my demonstration video, and thought Ooooh, I'd best get the crap brush they had to demonstrate that as well, so for another £3, I got this box, a DC03/04 Cleaning Kit
Which just had the brush in, I already had the tub of powder!
Finally, just incase my early 90's or late 90's stuff had gone off I got a pack of brand new, 2017 powder, and put this video together!
Not a valid youtube URL
Which had predictable results!
But, either way, it gave me a good excuse to use a DC04 Zorbster for Zorbing! I'm going to flog the machine on facebook soon, as it's pretty cruddy, will keep the hopper though, and do have more Zorb videos planned, including a VS with Duo-P and Kobosan, but I'll use another vac to brush that in etc!
