Good video. This will be helpful when it's time to service my own machines.

This seems to be very serviceable compared to most other vacuums I've seen. I used to have a really old bagged vacuum I think it was made by the Hoover and it was pretty good.

It is, very good design on these units.

These things are the best. I have one that I have used since the mid 2000's that has been in the family since the early 90's. Regular service keeps it perfect. Mine looks like a show room model (all red) and I only use it sparingly in my 2nd location.

They told me at the vacuum shop that if you can't get the gaskets that you can use thin weather stripping and the gasket maker from autozone works better then the original gaskets does

You could always plastic weld the broken part with a soldering iron if it is not available new

Air bypass like on a canister I think is better because of the lack of any contact with an impeller. The 60’s and 70’s 80’s Electrolux with an L shaped power nozzle are the best from my experience. They can go under couches. Also with that cog belt they don’t slip belts. And if something does get jammed they have a breaker button on the nozzle. And they have more suction. Most modern impellers are made of lexan plastic for durability. They hold up ok. But they all get to where yours is now.

I do like the L heads.

I’m surprised you can get everything for one still I have a classic xl I love it

That's one of the many benefits of using the same design for decades.

It might be good to highlight the fact that the impeller attaching nut is a left hand thread operation for folks unfamiliar with such things. A stripped nut or shaft here renders the entire motor useless.

Yes, that is a very good point.

Jordan got a question man, got a Lasko 18 inch stand fan noticed the shaft is still stiff and the blade wont move when i turn it on. Do these have bearings that have to be oiled? Because i noticed on the box it said permanently lubricated bearings.

Yes. Permanent lubrication is a lie.
