Newbie here, I have 2 Rainbow D2- 1st Purchased approx 1979-80   & # 2 purchased in an estate sale sbout 2 yrs ago ,  new with all attachements.

Problem- my original rainbow D2 - the seperator - about 1 yr ago I noticed a few of the teeth/fins  ( all in a row ) about 4-5 suddenly missing. So I took the seperator off # 2 & used it on orig Rainbow & with in a few weeks that one too was missing 5 fins/teeth.  Why is this happening?? What is causing it? What can I do  so when I purchase 2 more seperators it doesn't happen again.

Thanks for any help

Here is a web site for Rexair/Raibow parts and schematics based on specific models.  I make no claims for the company and have no interest personal or professional in the business or its staff.

After 30 years if you haven't already replaced the motor bearings and you plan to keep and use your D2 you may want to have new bearings put in.
