yeah, i can't afford a new one, that's one of the problems.

no, the 78 doesn't have the auto climate control.

saw the thread about the brushes. we're still trying to get the thing apart to access the main pieces of the motor....

thanks folks, for the advice so far! this is a bit of a troublesome problem!
