Just bought one in an eBay auction. Used but not abused was the ad.

One of my CEs is slowing down. I can't figure it out. Motor sounds good. Belt seems fine.

Just turns slower than the other two.

The belt may be wearing out. Loosen the three motor bolts and move the motor a bit to the right to tighten the belt a little. Only move it just enough to bring the barrel back up to speed. Expect the belt to wear out soon. Real soon.

Thanks!

We took the unit apart and found a filthy mess.

Found tons of bad wear and tear. Big Him salvaged parts from the dead 33B.

We are back in business! Thanks guys!

This is the plastic part that the fan is on and holds the belt. It was paper thin where the belt sat.
