AEG Vampyr 433 Electronic - Stripdown and Refurb

I picked this up ages ago now for under a fiver. I've always loved older AEG machines, they were everywhere when I was a child, and I've always half looked out for them ever since.
So this one is modern, and not as good, but here it is!
Not a valid youtube URL
Quite early on I had the hose apart and washed
The hose cuff is clipped together
And looking at those images, 3 months elapsed before this next one!
Hose end goes in the box first!
And onto the floor head. AEG used to make wonderful floor heads (I have an example of one for another day/thread), but sadly this is a cheaper single pedal affair
Metal base plate though, so not too bad!
Undo the screws
It has one lint strip in tact
2 springs

Then the brush layer lifts out
Some considerable picking later had it much cleaner!
The pedals clip out
To split the rest, each rear wheel has an end cap that reveals a clip
Remove all that
Yummy
And that's the floor tool done! Onto the main machine now
It has 3 tools, which are not the originals, but pattern spares, which need washing anyway

The whole top of the machine lifts off to change the bag anyway,
2 tabs at the back lift it off completely
This odd front trim part unclips, I think this is to help lift the bag door up
The hose inlet seemed to be in there pretty well
However a big lever up popped it out
The front bumper part pops off little by little, then falls off
I wish I did not do this, but I unclipped the latch at the front
And snapped off a locating tab,

Motor cover off now
However we are limited in how far we can throw it by the mains cable
The cord reel is never locked, instead a sprung bar clamps the cable. This is the bar!
But still no dice, so off with the plug!
(Can't remember what this part does now) but it's removed by sliding it up!
The post diffuser lifts out now
Up top, the external pedals pop off
Underneath, we can pop the adjuster knob off

Motor now
I found and unpicked the wires from the cord rewind
And removed the cord reel, which is even made by AEG! Even at this late stage
Next, the bag full indicator is run by this rubber tube that goes into the suction duct
With that removed, and some screws undone the whole motor assembly lifts out
The motor fancase seal was stuck to the chassis with filth
The furniture guards come off the chassis
And the bag holders (which also form the safety device to stop the lid closing without a bag) pop out of the chassis

The Pre motor filter sits here
Isn't too filthy
The front wheel unscrews
And the wheel can be removed from the carrier. There's even little reinforcing bushes for the axle! You'd never see that nowadays!
Onto the motor now
This bit is a thermal cutout
One black wire goes from that to the motor, and the other motor wire connects here
Then the slightly rusty motor can be removed
This wire goes from the TCO to the PCB

TCO Extracted
PCB Removed
These two rubber blocks hold the cover onto the motor/vibration dampers
Bag fill indicator next
The pipe pulls off the end and the end pulls off the outer shell
Then the other end pulls out bringing the internals with it
The bellows pulls off
This spring pulls it back when it's set off
Motor ID

The motor is in fine fettle though!
Top shell before polishing! (Afters are at the end!)
I didn't know if this was a date reference of 1993, but then that could just be for the bumper assembly, which fitted much older machines (I have an older one in the shed and it's identical!), so it might not date this whole vacuum
The motor sounded a bit dry on wind down, so it's time to tweak that
Off with the carbons
Off with the top clamp, and the coil
And a drop of oil went on the bearing, and I got some on the fancase end too, which quietened it down a tad!
Everything was then washed, dried and polished and is now ready to re-assemble!
Starting with the lower chassis

First it's back together with the bag full indicator
The two damper blocks go onto the motor housing
Drop all the wiring and PCB in
Fancase seal back into the chassis ans it worked better that way
And on with the motor and screw it all down!
Centre wheel now, push the 2 metal bushes in
Rear and front wheels on
The pre filter cleaned up nicely

Fitted
Bag holders in
Bumper in/on as it also forms the seals for the motor housing
Cord reel in
Adjuster knob popped into the top shell
And the pedals
The metal trim for the cord exit hole cleaned up nicely luckily so in that went
Sprung cable trap popped in
And the cable is run through

Before I fitted the plug, I chopped the very end of the cable off, as it had been bent from years of sitting in the one position
Wired the plug
And it looks better already now the plug does'nt sit at an angle!
Bag time! And I have a lovely NOS box of genuine bags for it
Which also came with new pre filters it seems!
So in one went and I binned the one we washed
Genuine!
On with the front guard/bumper

Fit the neck to the head then pop the axle/wheels on to hold it together
Clip the pedal in
Brush part in

Hose time! And these 2 parts have broken clips

So some glue and a cable tie to hold it whilst it dried did the job
The machine end gets it's seal refitted
And it's nearly done!
However, when I removed the black post filter/diffuser, it fell apart! And I hadn't been into the shed to get my spare stuff, as it was at the back. So that weekend in I went!
Popped the cover off and cut it to size
It sits nicely in the slot
And with the cover on looks like it has always been there

And now it's done!
It hasn't sold yet though, annoyingly. Probably because it's bagged, even though it's better than many bagless piles of crap I've sold since doing this for more money than this is up for, but I have a plan B formed in my head for when I get annoyed that it's still around! The bag door release latch is still broken, the glue won't hold it so I priced it at £20 to take that into account (it's fine if your careful) but no dice...
Oh, and here is the after video!

It is a very good machine! AEG always were though, sadly, their just a name for electrolux tat now!
I have a much better AEG in the shed though... Looking forward to that

Every time I see "AEG vampire" I expect it to be the 70s upright
