for awhile i sold these as a side job..wasn't really good at it though..lol..moved into the service dept. for several months.when i was there i saw just WHY these vacs last as long as they do.the motor is completely sealed off from the dirt going into the vac.the motor compartment is sealed with just a shaft that carries the impeller to create the suction and a belt that runs the beater bar.this design keeps the motor free of dirt and thats why they last as long as they do.we had one elderly lady that brough in a 1937 one the simply needed to have a the belt changed....it had been rebuilt once ,back in 68, and needed a belt about every three or four years...
