    Just bought an older fl8 that almost screams when you turn it on. The noise eventually goes away. Is this something that I can fix myself? Anyone run into this before?

    Mine is an old one too. Does the same thing. Goes away after a couple minutes. Been doing that for ten years on me. Runs great otherwise so I’m not going to tinker with it.

    good chance the brushes need to be replaced. I had one that made that noise and one day it wouldn’t spin anymore. I brought it into vexilar and they rebuilt it for me.

    Mojo how much did that run you to get them replaced?

    It has been a long time maybe 15 years ago, but it was reasonable maybe $50. I dropped it off in Bloomington.
