She got the vacuum back from the repair shop on Tuesday (two days ago). Three week turnaround,
awesome. I guess since she doesn't vacuum more than once every three weeks it doesn't matter.
They replaced the whole side frame, and the reason it took so long is that (they claim) this isn't a frequently replaced part.
Haven't fired it up yet, since our regular cleaning crew was just here anyway.
I'm thinking it might make a nice target for the .50 BMG at 800 yds.
