I have a spare Henry vacuum cleaner , do we want it?

It’s used, it’s a red Henry, might comes with bags
I think the one in the metal workshop is on it’s last leg?

Yes please! !

We have 2 broken ones right now, would be great to just swap a good one in!

Cheers,
Andy

Can they not be repaired? I’d be happy to take a look at the broken ones)

Yes, at least one is a decent brand, just needs someone to take it on!

I will put it aside and let you know where!

Thanks!!

Thanks @danielbenton for taking a crack at our broken Karcher vac…

New brushes on order, old ones were shot…

We still want the Henry though! Thanks

Big thanks to @danielbenton and @scythian for fixing the Karcher hoover!

Brushes replaced
Motor reassembled
New bag

Note: before it broke it only worked on 1 of the 2 speeds, still the case now

It probably needs a new HEPA filter which I will source, otherwise it is good to go and we have plenty of spare bags at the back of Arch 2 right now…

I’m sure you’ve checked the instructions but on mine they aren’t speeds; ‘1’ is on and ‘2’ is switched on automatically when the attached power tool is switched on.

I surely did not check the instructions! Good to know - maybe it works 100% then!

For the record, we now have Numatic vacuum working as well. It needs a new bag (and possibly a filter).
@danielbenton disassembled it and figured out that motor is ok but starting capacitor is destroyed. So I ended up replacing it today. Extra credits for @joeatkin2 providing the capacitor and advice!

Ah really! I actually bought some caps yesterday to bring in today, I’ll bring them in for future appliance repairs. Good job @scythian and @joeatkin2.
