my dyson v6b vac stick brush head doesn't spin, tried cleaning the pins and head. (the rolling portion at the end of the stick)

any where local or online that sells replacement heads? OEM or not, just looking for a cheap solution to not junk the unit

Take everything apart. I mean strip that sucker down to the bone. I bet you'll find hairs in there where no hair should be. Save money. I mean, if you screw it up, just look for a used one on Craigslist.

^^^ I did that found hairs under this plastic tab that didn't seem like it was removable, it actually stopped the brush from spinning, and that fixed it

You know if you clean a vacuum cleaner, you become a vacuum cleaner?

You can also just put a Bengals sticker on it.

Is it still under the 2 year warranty? If it is they'll ship you a box to send for repairs.

Then sell the rest of the good parts on eBay. Used individual pieces cost more than the whole assembly does brand new.

damn, so much response just from a vacuum post :lol

pretty sure it's past the 2 year mark.

i did take the tube out and clean it out, but i'll go deeper and do surgery on the weekend.

thanks guys.

They had lots of them last week at the T&T on Kingsway/Gladstone.

The bars are alright. Cheaper than buying a bubble tea but still satisfies those bubble tea cravings.

I know when Wilkinson’s Automobilia was around you could order anything from them but I don’t know if they ever reopened their store at 2531 Ontario.

Ted is still operating, and will certainly order in custom stuff.

"We have moved our operations to 2006 Main Street at 4th Ave in Vancouver where we will run our store/online business. Currently operating as a store/warehouse, we are primarily an online store, but offer the convenience and invitation for customers to still pop in to pick up orders and look around at what’s on the shelves."

The hours are limited, but Ted has been known to come in at other times so people can pick up orders.

Maybe some home hardware pro can give me a hint on this.

So I got an August Smartlock Pro 3 during Black Friday. I came home with it today and got to install it.

My original door looks like this with a single plate covering both the door lock on top and the lever at the bottom.

So, installing the August is no problem, but where the heck do I get a lever with a plate to cover it? I was in HD and they said the only solution is to buy a 4pcs set that's like mine and take that piece that I need.

I find it ridiculous... first, that set is like 140bucks... second, I can't imagine that no one ever needed to replace just the bottom lever part (while leaving the outside as is). Am I rite?

Thus, let me know where I can get something like this... if it's local, great, but doesn't have to be.

Could always try your luck at the Habitat for Humanity store.

Looking for one of those HDTV antennas. I want to watch local news in the rape dungeon (no cable). I have a couple of smaller flat screen televisions lying around.

I can order the antenna from Amazon, but prefer local pickup.

You can't install the lock with the existing handle and plate? Is the plate actually covering anything or just cosmetic? You can get a regular door handle anywhere.

I'm using this one from London Drugs https://www.londondrugs.com/terk-amp.../L9645045.html

If you're in a concrete building your reception may be a bit low but opening a window or putting it on the balcony works just fine.
