Rubi Rubimix-10 Spare parts - Tile Advice

[itstony]

Before I give up and bin my Mixer I would like to ask if it is possible to buy spares. I am surprised I cannot even find a mention of spares on their site.
The armature needs replacing. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers.

Thanks Tom, checked that site before, next to nothing on there.
difficult to know why there are no obvious suppliers of spares for a brand leader..

Is it not still under guarantee?
If not throw it away - they are cheap enough!

 

[itstony]

Bin it! I know it's an ever growing throw it away mentality now exacerbated by cheap imports, but made a lifetime habit of repairing tools and equipment, hence why I make the effort for established brands.
Has to be age related I guess?

if you mean @timeless john is young that's a matter of perspective

Wow!
‘Your only as old as the woman you feel’.
As for the mixer - I use mine every day of the week (a Rubi) so if it does 1year its paid for itself and I use my spare.

I’m with you on repairing tools, no reason not to if it’s financially viable.
I got my rubimix in 2006, and it’s still going strong. (Now I’ve cursed it probably. )

My apprenticeship didn’t include mechanical engineering !
We would mix sand/cement by shovel which meant you just acquired a new handle and then we moved up to a piece of 2x2 for adhesive.
My first paddle mixer was an attachment for my Stanley drill in 1998 the year my son started his apprenticeship so life became sweeter!
£39.95 from Aldi so disposable for me!

This was and still is my very first mixer, might have had a paddle for a short while esrlier, can’t remember John.
BIG stick before that.

I think this is the type part that he needs..... probably only available from Rubi direct

Yes Tom, that is it.
I had a reply from RUBI UK and they are putting someone on to me. so waiting on that.
The wires to the commutator are insulated and one of those appears to have degraded and shorting. Initially looked like brushes.
Anyway, that armature will be a generic one from a company that Rubi chose.
I have time, but not that much to search.
maybe this Rubi person can help. I ain't being binned on a whim
