Kevin, with the info I’ve collected thru this post, and your pictures and advice, I think I’ll jump in and tackle that vacuum motor. I’d taken it out and apart maybe 25+ years ago just to freshen it up so it’s over-due for some tlc. What can possibly go wrong? And my ManCard needs some exercise. Kevin, thanks for your help, I’ll update this post when I get further along with the R&R….
