The main reason for a mains suppressor is to stop unwanted interference generated by the machine interfering with other items ie radios, TV’s etc. By all means replace it if you want as it’s about 40-50 years old. But for me this sits in the category if it aint broke don’t fix it.

I got hold of a triac and de soldered the old one and resoldered in the new one. I cleaned out the motor with compressed air, and installed new bearings although the old ones after being packed with grease appeared to be fine. The vacuum cleaner now runs like new with original Miele bag and filters installed.Ben
I got hold of a better magnifying glass and I was able to read the Triac, turns out it is a BTB16-600BW . I have ordered one online so I will wait and see if it repairs it. I repacked the bearings with grease and they seem fine now,

To be honest my eyes are not as good as they were. I photographed it but the camera could not read it. I have put it back together at the moment as it works fine. I am about to order new bearing and when they arrive I will dismantle it and have another read of it.
Thanks

Thanks I got access to the site, your right they know how to charge for the bearings. I was hoping to find the sizes and then order from SKF as I am happy with their bearing quality and I think miele use them also.
