Hello
One of the prongs on the power plug 🔌 broke and the motor finally wore out. A new Leviton replacement plug and a new top motor head and bingo! Works like brand new!!
Is it white neutral color AC wire to the silver screw on the left in the pic which is connected to the wide prong on the plug 🔌??

Pic 5 - plug is fixed

Good little ash vac. Mine has served me well for 5 or 6 years now. Don, If you don't mind me asking, how much was the replacement power head?
