So I bought the machine but little silver beads came running out of the cylinder parts that go on the bar should I worry?

Those are the bearings and they shouldn't be falling out. You might want to contact Marcy. They are good at making things right. The down side is you will have to disassemble the uprights to replace the part.

I would contact the manufacturer and get replacements. Those beads are the bearings and help the bar move smoothly.

Yes you should as I believe those would be the ball bearings that are used to smoothly move the cable pulleys up and down when weight is on them. Sounds to me that the tracks that hold the ball bearings are compromised and you should not use it.

My #s were off by a few too. I do not recall which ones because it was so long ago. I do recall being concerned aboutit, but the pumps looked the same. It all worked out fine. Look at the shape, and the bolt hole placement.

Do not assume that the chain was put on correctly at the factory, mine wasn't and it took me a while to figure out that it was put on backwards - so much for quality control. I would take the chain and bar off and reassemble it. Check to make sure the bar extender pin is in the hole in the bar. Good luck

First congrats on using it till the rings fell off! Use gorilla smart glue. The glue will out last the flask. R/ Bobby

We already bought a new machine (same one) but we kept the old one. I am going to try fixing my old machine with your suggestion. I'll post the outcome. In any case, thank you for replying to my post. We were on the phone with Brother and they really didn't give any good suggestions and also all the authorized service centers wanted to charge over $100 to look at the machine and parts and labor would be extra.

So long as your new bars are not radically thick or thin there shouldnt be problem. Might be a good idea to get new cables and cable sheaths too, and make sure you know what your doing... some beginner bike modders get this part muddled and then inevitably end up at their bike shop trying to get help.

yes i was too. a bar goes strait threw the middle of the bottom and the top of the cat carrier parts. not sure if i can remember exacly i just know i thought i was missing parts until i figured it out. i have it in storage right now so i can look at it this minute.

I contacted the company they said to check the tubing for cracks and make sure my lines were in place. Everything looked good to me. . .I think it's a defect they need to fix currently looking for a new pump

Check for obstruction where tubing comes from floor. Just small piece of plastic can cause this problem

No. The unit has been terrific for a few years. Have you tried to remove the bar with the brushes and re-insert it? Maybe the gear that drives it is broken or not far enough in. Have you spoken with Hoover service. They may have a quick and/or simple diagnostic or corrective suggestion. b.cooper

you should take the original bar and chain combo to get a suitable match. don't trust generic replacements.

The machine still works perfectly. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for needed parts.

I took a good look at both of mine. If you're talking about the little black caps on the ends of the silver tubes, two front ones are missing on mine too. It doesn't seem to be a problem. It's more for appearance.

I had an occasional spillage of used grinds on the tray, as well, but this issue self-corrected after the first required full maintenance. Probably greasing the movable parts "fixed" it. As far as the solid pucks -- same here. If you worry about the way your machine performs, I suggest you contact customer Philips support at 1- 800-933-7876 -- they were the most patient and helpful tech support people I have ever dealt with.

All you need is thin flat rubber or nitrile sheet. Take the old diaphrams apart and make new with the rubber sheet. I've only had one of these pumps that I couldn't get to work, they are solid and reliable. I bet I run mine for a year on average before I start to notice the airflow drop some, then I know it's time to clean it out real good and replace the rubber diaphrams. You can find several nice vids that show it barney style on Youtube. I hope that helps!

I have no idea. You might want to contact the manifacturer. Got it as a gift and so far everyone seems to be just fine.

I had a jeweler help me with mine as the screws were coming loose. The jeweler added glue to the threads and it is now working well.
