Subject: RE: Nibbs XXXVIThanksgiving weekend the powerhead on my parents Miele vacuum broke. They have been without a decent vacuum since then. I was going to take it for an estimate at a vacuum place down the street but my dad wouldn't allow it. He had always fixed everything in the past and insisted that he would fix it. His dexterity is shot and his energy is so low that he hasn't made any progress. At some point I will need to take the powerhead into a shop...but currently it is in about 15 different pieces. Anyway...We are all tired of a crappily vacuumed carpet so I decided to do something about it. I got out the 30 year old Eureka that has been mine for the last 8 years. It hadn't been working so I went ahead and took it apart. It turns out that the fan/fly wheel plastic part was now many parts. The vacuum store was closed so no replacement parts were available. The powerhead works fine-just no suction. Soooo, I pulled out our shop vac and played frankenstein...   Edited by mchally 2009-01-25 10:51 PM
