And cleaned all the remains of the foam from under the lid
Finally, time for an exploded diagram shot!
And that's it for now, the next step is re-assembly, and that's where it goes a bit wrong (there was an explosion and everything, my youtube followers should remember that!)

Right, let's see if we can finish this off tonight!
Motor together first
Tadah!
Then I put the casing back together, which no longer made my hands black
You can see 30 years of wheel movement here!
2 plastic rollers back in
And the wheel screws down, and the wheel itself can be fitted with a smear of grease on the axle as it squeaked a bit before
I fitted the front handle compartment
and then fitted some nice new foam to the bag holder!
The spring for the bag latch

Then the latch itself!
All fitted, just some foam to put on the inside edge, but it had not arrived by this point I don't think!
On the outside, the big rubber seal/cap that bridges the gap betwixt inner and outer piece
However, for now, I can't fit anymore that end. So it's onto the back, and the rear grille went on
I popped the front parts back together so I didn't loose them
Cord rewind brake now
And clipped it onto the cable exit part

Found a cracking date wheel
Firewall now, and the rubber fancase seal goes on
PCB is fitted
And then the first disaster happened. I snapped the reed switch whilst trying to feed it through the casing...
So I bought some, which were much much smaller than the originals and soldered one in and taped it down
The magnet was fitted to the other side
Then the rear of the pre motor filter housing was screwed in
The firewall can be refitted now
And it's cover screwed on, which would have been easier before I fitted it, but fitted fine anyway!

Next, the motor gets dropped in
and the annoying earth wire gets connected
and the motor screwed down
Quick flip underneath and the thermal cut out can be fitted
Then, I can unscrew this
Remove this
and wire up the power nozzle socket!
The live terminals are hooked up
Supressor refitted for now (and I really wish I had just left it the hell alone!)

Next, it's time to snip the cable tie stopping the cord rewind from undoing itself
and fit it!
Fit the dividing wall/cord reel holder/cable guide
Fit the plug
Attempt to tidy the wiring
Then, put the furniture guards together and fit them to the cleaner
Then, I needed to find a post motor filter/diffuser, since the original one disintegrated as they all do! A quick raid of the shed, and Miele to the rescue!
Perfick!
Can put the bottom cover on now!

And the rear wheels
Getting there!
We also need a pre motor filter! Uncle Miele to the rescue again
Next, time to assemble the switch housing. At this current moment in time, the Power Adjustment switch cover had gone awol, so I imagined it was there for now
Wired everything up
Stuck the pretty bits down
And fitted that to the lid
Wired it all back up as it was

I then carefully fitted the broken trim and pedals back on
I did try to glue this corner down, but it didn't take, and I didn't want to wob glue everywhere!
Plugged it all back in
And screwed it down
Popped the tools back in
Lid on
And it's done*
Time to pop the floor tool back together

Much better!
Hose next, and the handle goes back together
I then spent an evening infront of my tablet on the 26th Febuary 2017 watching our local kebab van win the best kebab van in England award at the kebab oscars! (and yes it's bloody amazing! Utterly manic on a busy night though
http://www.britishkebabawards.co.uk/the_delicious_taste_of_success_celebrations_as_thame_kebab_van_scoops_award
)
and cleaned the hose by hand, as I couldnt get the ends off to put it in the machine
That, really, was done! However, it goes downhill here...
I cut the supressor out and soldered the wires together... this made it blow the fuse... Because I did not think ahead and leave plenty of wire on the supressor, soldering it back in was a right pain, but just about do-able. Then I broke the new reed switch I fitted:
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=3c-hgj5e7U4
Then I attempted to replace the broken LED bulb... which went well
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiPiKopRhNg
Getting thoroughly pissed off with it now, it was working again.
Finally, I bought some roam adhesive strip from ebay to replace the factory stuff I removed the remains of at the beginning
Which looked really smart
However, it was too thick. And upon fitting the top cover, it managed to push a wire off the PCB, causing it to go into limp home mode (half power, lights on all the time). So I stripped it all off and fixed that
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxUUDOf2iBM
But, in putting it all back together finally, I dropped the motor, and snapped a wire off the capacitor again! And my previous solder joint came with it, so it was game over... So I put it in the loft and forgot about the hateful thing.
Until a few months later, a collector I know came round for a machine swapping session. And I gave him the sensotronic, as I wanted to sell it once this was done, but now could not. The jammy sod opened it up, and snipped the black link wire within the main loom, which caused it to work fine! That must have been why it blew the fuse before!
TBH by this point I did not care, especially after he gave me something in return, a very rare machine in the UK, and one that I love very much. I haven't shown it on here before, and it'll be a while before it gets a refurb as I'm waiting for some parts from the US!
Not a valid youtube URL
So that is that! Not my usual refurb thread, but followable for anyone who does want to look inside a sensotronic! Normal service will be resumed thread-wise soon, I promise!
