The original vibe died this afternoon with great fanfare and a BIG loud POP!

It started to stall and then POP. Did not see a whiff of smoke but I have heard that sound before in other appliances. It'll now be swimming with the fishies. ;D

Okay .... thank goodness I have the replacement.

That's what I get for being cocky about having two vibes!

As always

You can stare at a rock for hours and never see the same thing twice.

John .... I have been using the bowl from it and that bowl now sits on the other vibe. It really is a good thing as I do not want cross contamination between bowls. So I have a grit bowl and polish bowl.

I stripped that poor little thing until it was nekked as a jay bird!!! ;D

Felt kinda bad .... but it gave itself for all my happiness!

I even pulled out the little rubber pieces ...

Tomorrow I will crack it open again and pull the fan blade and any other things that could be special to this particular vibe.

You could probably clip it out and solder in a new one.

I have no idea how to do that, but thanks for the suggestion. I would probably drop solder on my hand then I would be really unhappy. ;D
