Re: project 39

I have taken it apart just far enough to see that the leather inside that makes up the paddle is worn and dried out. If you look at the picture the light is the top half and the vacuum motor is the bottom half. The motor isn't round it is half round so subbing a electric motor isn't really an option. I have never tried rebuilding a vacuum motor so I don't really know how to find the special parts like the rivets they used or how to take the valving apart and get it back together without destroying it.
