I am looking at a dust collector, and this is advertised in a local used board for 175$. what are some things that people would recommend looking at to see if there are any problems with it? (IE: motor running hot).
I notice this is a 1994 model. A well made piece of equipment can last a long time, but are there any chronic problems with these? This was used for a garage shop a guy had, so it didn't receive a lot of abuse, though I am waiting to look at it and hook it up to confirm.
Also, worst case, i look at replacing the motor if it doesn't live that long. Does anyone know where to price a used motor for the DC1200 (assuming that this is the actual model number, I am awaiting confirmation). Also, i can't seem to find a listing for just the canister for the DC1200, anyone have a link for that also?
Thanks in advance.
