Right, time for some reassembly!
The bin came up very well. Possibly because the dirt doesnt really swirl around, more just fall into the bin
The shroud and cone need to be fitted together
And screwed into the machine
The front handle goes on next
Filter now
The filter is a genuine Electrolux one, and doesn't fit! I fitted it anyway...

It can go over to the side for now
And we can get the chassis out
The hose to the brushroll goes on first, the ends are screwed on
And it's screwed into place
The motor (which is still an unknown at this point)
Gets rubbered up
The seals go over the coil terminals
Belt end rubber seal goes on
The motor cover is MUCH cleaner now

And gets fitted to the motor. I'm still not sure if this was some sort of sound muffling effort (which doesn't work) or just to stop all the crap going into the motor...
The outer belt end rubber seal goes on now
Then the little random pipe got fitted and taped back down. This goes nowhere, and the machine has no bag full indicator, so it is a bit of a mystery
Wiring then happened
And got wrapped in the hopefully flameproof foam
The spinal cable wraps around this moulding, which seems pointless as it's under no movement whatsoever that I can see
Motor fitted, along with the bowden cable that fits behind the motor
This rubber bung goes over the hole in the casing for the mains and bowden cables
Time for the inner suction channel now

The little leak off pipe got fitted
Then it was clipped in
Pre motor filter holder and filters go in next
The filters fell straight out but the metal part needs to be there
Because the motor cover goes on and holds it in place
Onto the brushroll housing, and I fitted the furniture guard on
Fitted the spring for the release pedal
Then the pedal itself
Height adjustment knob pushes in

Underneath, the front wheels clip into place
And the spring that stops them flopping right out is fitted
It's time to refit the powerdrive gubbins now, but first I popped the cover off the motor and took the gears out
Cleaned it out a bit, refilled it with grease, then gave the transfer shaft a good coating in silicone spray and fitted that to the motor mount
Fitted the motor to the holder
The pivoting inner cage drops in now, with a squirt of slippy on all the contact points
Now it's time to build up the wheel itself, so I started by giving my shaft a good greasing
And built it back up, giving all the bearings a good coat of thin grease and working it in, the thing was damn hard to hold afterwards!
It all then drops into the housing

Everything then got another dose of silicone spray, being careful to squeeze the friction pads together so it didn't seep in to those
It's buttery smooth now, you could almost hear it over the main suction motor before! The cover was screwed on hastily as it's very easy to drop the assembly out of the housing otherwise
The foam dust cover for the pivot arm goes on
And it's all bolted into the main chassis
The recline switch firms the wiring loom for the little motor, so it goes in next
With that all in place, the bowden cable was fitted, and every moving part given a squirt of silicone and the pivot clamps fitted. It no longer grinds as it gets pivoted!
After double checking everything
The top cover goes over it all
We move hastily up top now, and wire the mains cable and switch and spinal cord together, and fit the bowden cable through the lower handle

the broken screw mount was glued in, and the switch assembly screwed down
The bowden cable gets clamped back into the handle, and the handle spring fitted into place
Moving back down, we can put the brushroll together
The bearings got a smear of grease under the plastic cap before final fitting
The hood goes on next
And it all looks much MUCH nicer underneath!
The top suction paths/bin seal cleaned up nicely

And dropped into place
The tool holder is now fitted, which screws the suction ducts in as it goes, and covers all the wires inside
Tools got fitted
The pre motor filters go back in
And the bin can go on
Looking much better already!
Hose now
the ends go on
and the hose gets fitted to the machine

Then the final post filter is fitted
Now at this juncture, I did test it, and amazingly the motor does run! Not brilliantly, but considering the armature came from a blown motor, after a clean up and nicer carbons it does run OK with just a slight hint of smell here and there. Not so good was the Bowden cable, I had tried to tape it together, but to no avail and it did nothing.
So, I went into town and went to the bike shop. Once the spotty oiks in there stopped laughing at my intended use, they sold me a new bowden cable
Which I fitted, which involved dis-assembling the machine again a bit. It came with one end crimped
It's MUCH thinner than the original, being made for bicycles
The motor end took some thinking about, because I had no crimps for it, and this being a proof of concept, didn't fancy buying 20 or so to try, so cable ties to the rescue
But did it work?

Surprisingly yes! Seems the powerdrive gearbag doesnt need much movement so it gets away with it!
So there we go! Ideally it needs another motor, which is very easy to find as it's the same as in the bagged versions which seem about as popular as a bout of the clap, but for now, it works OK!
Thanks for reading!
