I picked up a Prochem steempro for a good price as spares and repair.

It sound like it needs a new vacuum because when the second vac is switched on you get a terrible grating/dry noise.

I have mechanical experience and took the machine apart and one vacuum is rumbling when turned by hand.
I can see a 14mm or 15mm nut at the bottom of this vacuum and wondered if the vacuum motor can be repaired with a bearing kit, or is it new vacuum time???

If it is a new vac... Anyone know the best price around?? I have looked on ebay and there is one for £119 & Free P+P

Sounds like water's got in the bearings and made them rusty, I have tried unsuccessfully
to renew bearings 
Many on here like myself have learnt through bitter experience buying cheap motors
on ebay. These are very good but aren't showing vacs in stock.
