Having just moved into a new house, this was awaiting us and, following advice on this Forum, I understand that they work pretty well and it would be best cleaning it up, replacing worn parts, and using it.

Top off, all looking a bit dusty. the machine is very rumply, sounds like the fan, although the belt was very loose. I tried fitting a new one but, although the air flow was much improved, the rumble was still there.

heater coils Burnt fluff surrounding the heater coils needs vacuuming out. It looks as though the top heater coil was replaced, as the centre rope looks newer, which is hard to see on these crappy mobile phone pics...

front bearing pads The bearing pads look in good order but seem loose. I thought these should be white, not black. Originals, perhaps?

heater coil rope Does this look correct and/or safe to you? Seems weird that the heater coil ropes are tied together.

Fluffy motor Fluff seems to have infested the motor, so I think it will have to come apart and be cleaned-out, so it does not overheat.

fan bearing - Need help on this bit Here's the bit I'm stuck on. The fan is made from metal and its centre shaft spins on a bronze bush. There is minor scoring on the shaft but it's not detrimental but there is movement between the shaft and bronze bush. Are these bushes available? Can anyone help at all? R | ||
