Jim has fixed dozens of curbside vacuum cleaners.  It may have long threads
wound around the bushings (ends of the roller) that prevent it from turning
and make the belts break.  Make sure it turns freely by hand before putting
on another belt.  Remove it and clean it first.   You might need a saw blade
to cut the threads.  We will pick up the next vacuum cleaner we see while out
walking if you like.  The last order got filled in 24 hours.  Or bring it by
along with the printer.  Maybe in two weeks.  

How do I link this to DIY?  I keep forgetting.

Jim says why would you want to use a vacuum repair place.  Don't they charge
you money? That's why god made grex, so you could learn to do it yourself.
