stuff snipped

Before I undertook all that work, I'd get a new, quieter unit.

I'll be waiting for your check! (-: I think you've got a point in that I
should try cheap solutions like a water heater blanket to see if that has
any effect. New vacuum not an option since this is new, sort of. Not very
many miles and was the top of the line at the time. It just sat in the box
a long time before the preliminary work got done. Who doesn't have such a
project waiting around their house?
