Central Vacuum / Next Project / Motor Bearing / Suggestions

I have made the controversial decision to replace the motor in the current vacuum.

It seems these Beam Vacuum were high end units used in boats the lowest suction rating I have been able to find is 128" of water lift.

The motor has been ordered.

I will document the rebuild of the unit when the motor arrives.

Customer service is very snooty, they refer you to dealers, and dealers will only talk to people within a 100 mile radius. I am outside the 100 miles.

Never heard of restrictions like this before.
