Good to see you again,Barry. Pneumonia seems to be endemic these days. I had mine a little over half a year ago and it "ignited" a series of other issue, but, fortunately, I am on top of these now. I just had one of those senior moments. Years ago, that rather expensive but usually rock-solid and reliable vacuum cleaner of ours, for which I had paid close to $ 1,000 a few years earlier, just quit working - out of the blue! I stored in the attic in disgust, planning to get it fixed by my friend Lothar, but that somehow never materialized. Now today, the cheap replacement we bought started to act up and that literally sucks! I was about to order a new one when I remembered the one in the attic. I took it downstairs, checked it and noticed, that the mechanism for the control switch on the handle wasn´t properly positioned. As you can take off the handle of this type, it was not put in the right position when the handle was put back again. As a result, you couldn´t switch on the darn thing! Fixing it was a question of seconds (!) and now our good old vacuum cleaner is back in business! I´ll now be able to use the cheap one for my MRRing!
