Do these vacs still exist?? I have two a one has finally stopped working after 9 years. I would love to get a couple more, but I cannot find them anywhere.

if it is the motor you can replace the motor for around 150.00 I think you can replace the brushes too.
Looks like the Turbo III has been discontinued -- at least it is no longer on the FEIN.COM web site, and most distributors are listing it as discontinued.

another good day in the shop
Well looks like there are a few still out there. Thanks guys
I'm using 1 turbo III and 1 turbo II on my system at the time they had the same specs other than canister size.
One of my Fein motors burned out a few years ago. I replaced it with a Lighthouse motor and it worked great for another 5 years. When that motor failed I just junked it. I got about 13 years use so I don't feel I got cheated.
I use my shopvacs several hours a day in sanding and cleaning operations. Much more then a hobby shop would ever use. So in a hobby shop the motor would probably last much longer. I tend to burn out shopvacs every 5 years of so.
