THAT SUCKS......
Oops, I guess it dont suck no more !!! lol

thinking of just buying a nice Rigid vacuum cleaner at HD and linking
it up - I know those vacuums are quiet and cheap and have a lifetime
guarantee. Any opinions here?

I was looking this evening for a price on a new V-M head but I can't
find anything. Anyone know a ballpark cost for those? Its the 110V
version with separate canister.

Thanks!

You could probably just rig up a shop vac to the system.
Of course you might look into a motor rebuilding on yours. There's
little else that can go wrong. Find a local motor rebuilder.

Or a motor shop. This may well use a standard motor that they
already have in stock.

There are two stores in Baltimore that sell a large variety of motors.
The first one didn't have what I wanted but the second did.
