Oster A5 Clipper repaired by a pro

- Golden A5 2 speed is the pet version of the 76. On 76's also keep the link and lever new. Clean out your motor every few months, if not me then watch my video's and do it yourself. It will have hair and carbon in the field that will make it get hot and to slow down. You can't just change brushes. Everyone says yes you can. Well it will be OK if you like a slow and over heating clipper.
My name is Nick George with Clouds Diamond Sharpening. I sharpen hair clipper blades on a diamond sharpening wheel (grandpa made the wheels shape and figured out how to use the diamond process. that's so fine at 1500 diamond grit, that polishes your blade sharp. I fix any clippers that have parts available. I can sharpen any blade or scissor that can come apart. I sharpen convex scissors, semi convex scissors, chunkers scissors, thinning shears, fabric scissors, surgical scissors, and little scissor at a good price.

Thanks for the detailed video of this clipper. Love to here people like yourself provide 'tricks of the trade' in their videos.
Thanks for watching!
I came to this video because I'd already snapped the snap ring several times and wanted to see if there was a trick to it. So I open the video, jump ahead until you get to that part. I'm listening to the video and still trying to get the snap ring out. Literally, and I'm using the word "literally" correctly here, literally 2 seconds after I snap my case I hear "You snap this ring, it'll bust your case wide open." If I'd only been slightly more patient. And I even bought what I thought was a decent pair of Irwin snap ring pliers. No worries, if the superglue doesn't hold I'll just get a new housing. Great video.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing your expertise and knowledge. I’ve just picked up a used 76 my personal hair clipper, partly because they are so serviceable - I dislike owning tools that end up being thrown away when they stop working. Most consumer-grade gear is unsupported, no parts available, no service manual or instructions, etc. You are a true resource to the global community in the care and repair of their tools of trade! Thanks.
Awesome. I'm glad I can help. I like tools that can be repaired also. Thanks for watching
Oh, wow! You're a God-send! I recently dropped my Golden A5 two speed clippers and they're in need of repairs. So glad I found you!!!
Hello. Np. I'm glad you found me and enjoy my video. Send them to me and I'll give you a free estimate for the repair. Thanks for watching
Great instructions here. I have been running a Turbo A5 at home for 8 years now and finally I have to repair it. The pin in the middle of the lever is loose, but I'll go through the whole trimmer. That trick at the end is terrific, it increased the rpm like you said. Thank you Sir.
Mark Erickson np. I'm happy it could help you. Thanks for watching.
Thanks fixed mine right off by first minute in your video. Just had to tighten the 2 screws Inside the top of clip !
Great vid. very good explanation of everything, best I've seen yet. YOU ARE THE MAN.
This guy knows exactly what he talking about There is a wealth of tips so watch carefully TWICE is good Centering the armature is just one as an engineer Iwork on many different machine but never a clipper this is designed for the Pro and yet covers the silly things that people do like grinding off the nip on the end cover Sheesh! Well done young man smooth and concise presentation. Very useful As I said to me most is obvious but some thing are not so obvious unless pointed out Thank you. One small thing which I suspect you may do but not in the video because of the possibility of "getting it wrong" is cleaning out the groves on the armature only for those with a steady hand and confidence one slip and you can ruin the part.
+Paul Kelly Thank you, i'm glad you liked the video.
i had no idea about setting the field! thanks a million
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Mine have never been serviced so I'm gonna give it a try.. Except i don't have a ring tool and it had lots of old grease build up..🤦♀️
Thanks for watching.
HEY. BOSS. GOOD.
Wow, great vid. When you tapped the case & I heard it speed up, that was cool. I just sent my Oster Star-Teq in to Oster. They couldn't fix it, even though it just seemed to be a short (wiggling the cord mattered)? They're replacing it with a Titan.
Thank you. Yeah speed up because it's a floating field around the Armature, so when you hit it, it realigns itself. That's great the Titan is a great clipper. Thanks for watching and have a nice day
@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973 Have you worked on the Oster Star-Teq types? I'm thinking now that mine may not have a short, but just needs new brushes (18 years of home use & it's never been serviced).
Love your work keep up the Great Work just followed you💪🏽
Awesome! Thank you!
Gracias por este video, me encanto esplicas muy bien, me ayudo mucho gracias👍😀
Great instruction!!!!!
thank you and thanks for watching
👍
Great video thanks, I have a Golden A5 2 speed clipper that I purchased in Australia which has a Aus plug, mine works perfect but I noticed it doesn't have the ball bearing oiling hole on it, how do you go about oil maintenance, is it possible?
Keep the blades lubricated with blade oil. I would address everything else internally when you service the clipper.
@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973 Thanks will do!!
Hi, my oster 76 which I bought factory refurbished, after 6 months gets a bad noise and vibration only when a blade is attached. It does not do this when I hold it upside down. It runs so smooth when no blade is attached. As a professional, this sound is not acceptable. Its definatly coming from the motor. I wonder if it's possible to fix?
yes you can fix it. It needs the hair cleaned out of it and the bearings oiled
I have an Oster A-2 clipper, is it possible to change it from a fixed blade to a detachable blade by removing the fixed blade bracket and installing an older model 10 hinge?
I guess anything is possible. You could try it, but more than likely you'll have to do some customizing. I don't believe it will be an easy "swap."
Excelente me encanto gracias.
Good day. Thank you very much for your video, it helped me already. Could you tell, please, what did you put into the motor? Is it some spesial oil or maybe just some kind of a WD-40 thing?
Вячеслав Глинкин hello. I'm glad you liked the video. I use clipper oil to oil the bushing inside the field. I use electronic clean to clean the field. thanks for watching
hi there my clipper ; Oster crewmaster 2speed (same as classic 76 ) was dropped and the switch need to replace, if you sell that the switch assembly ?
great informative video
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching
+Cloud's Diamond Sharpening I took my old model 22 progienic clippers apart and the field is covered with carbon. since yours was pretty clean..whats the best way to clean it?
+KAPITAL GAINZ FITNESS I have this industrial electric cleaner I use and then use an air compressor to blow it off or just try to wipe it off the best you can. If its just carbon it should just blow off.
Hi from UK,
Good video, simple to follow. I have a set of A5 clippers that after a couple months semi-heavy usage now struggle to work the blades. They have the power to slide the blade cutting edge when not cutting anything but no power there when you try to cut fur. When new I can not hold the drive tip due to the power from the motor but now I can almost hold the drive tip still with my thumb due to lack of power. Have I burned them out or could they be repaired ? Thank you
Ian Black hello. I'm glad you liked the video. if you never had it serviced then that is the problem. motors collect carbon inside and causes friction and will slow the motor down. it could also be that everything needs to be oiled and lubed. Maybe brushes are low and not making connection correctly. I can't give you an answer without me diagnosing it. They can be repaired but I have no idea how much money it will cost. thanks for watching.
Brilliant 😊 , thanks for taking the time to reply.
Hello. Great and informative video. I have used Oster titan for myself for 3 years now, so i checked carbon brushes to see if they need replacement. I noticed that left carbon brush has been grinded twice as much as right one. Is that normal? Does that indicate that motor is not seated properly in the case?
pipi kiki hello. No the brushes that you buy should be seated already. The aremature comuntator might need to be cleaned with a diamond stick. It could be wet or to much debris on it.
Thanks for fast and helpfull reply
pipi kiki np. Also there might be other causes like the spring was stretched out or a defect in the brush.
Im having trouble taking off the snap ring. Can you help me?
You'll need to buy nicer snap ring pliers. Sometimes they can be difficult to get off. If the ring is bent or anything you won't be able to tell but it won't come off easy. There's really no other way I could help you over the internet
Great video and info. I have an old Golden A5, that has two small pieces of felt like material on each side of the red part that moves under the name plate. What are these called, and where would I order them from?
I think you talking about felts? that go on each side of the lever ,one on each side of the case post? if so they are called felts or hair guards and try Fort shaver and appliance. thanks for watching.
Yep! Thanks. I haven't picked up clippers in almost 30 years, and forgot what they were called.
What type of grease, other than Oster gear lube which is very expensive, can I put on the gear mechanism? White lithium, Lucas red and tacky, Vaseline, mobile 1 grease? What NLGI number should be used? Thanks.
I would only recommend oster gear lube. I'm sure there are alternatives, but oster gear lube is what I'd recommend. The cost is minimal compared to what could go wrong by trying a different option.
@@cloudsdiamondsharpening3973 thank you for your prompt response. But let me explain. I’m leaving for Qatar in 36 hours. There are no places to buy Oster brand gear lube in that time, I’ve searched. The Qatar mail and infrastructure where I’ll be is like living in the 8th century. However, I can access certain grease like Lucas red and tacky and other NLGI# 1, 2 or 3 grease lubes. In other words, Oster brand gear lube is out of the question for the next 18-24 months. So if you can think of an appropriate off brand lube for me and my trusty Oster 76 classic, which I’ve used faithfully for 6 years, I’d appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
@@TheindefatigableGovernor No Problem.. I have never used other grease bc some will be for metal or ceramic etc. I mean you can try any grease but i cant tell you if it good for that material. For example some grease can withstand heat and some cannot or some might be thinner and might evaporate in heat, so its up to you what you use but i cant say it wont damage anything bc I'm not a grease manufacture. I'm sorry i couldn't help you.
Can you tell me where you got that clamp that you put around the housing?
I never saw one like that with thumb screw thing?
Light Shine hello. It's from home depot or ace hardware. It's a radiator clamp or plumbing clamp
Shit now not working. Its something to do with the top part. My videos on this?
Where can I find the clipper grease
the hintch u talking about where the screws go in around 23 mins in your video i just did the same thing i stripped where the bolts go in and now my hitch is lose and it do not tighten on my 76 classic , should i replace that part if im able to? what do you suggest?
Ricardo Cisneros hello. You will need to take a Dremel tool and get a cutting disk and cut a notch in the screw to remove it with a screw driver or buy a new housing.
Could u use just like it is with plate n hinge to cut human hair with it or do I just need the hinge and plate don't worry about. n still use the two speed on human hair
+Garcia Levere All animal clippers will work for barber blades. The difference will be the animal clipper will be faster so your blade will get hot faster. The hinge has a latch that will latch barber blades. Animal clippers have longer cords. Thats the only difference between a 76 and A5. Some of my customer barbers buy animal clippers bc the like the fast speed or the latching hinge. Its up to you really. Have a nice day.
so if I put a 76 clip/blade it will work fine for human hair? just asking because I can get one in good working condition for $30
If they are working a5's they will work to cut hair with a 76 blade. Now they could get hotter if they are turbo or 2 speed bc they blade heats up.
My 76’s work but they are smoking. Any ideas what this could be. I greased them and carbons are good. Pls help!
Did you clean the hair and carbon out of the motor?
Cloud's Diamond Sharpening I cleaned with with a brush ,also i found a slight crack on the toggle.
@@nicoleaubry2981 ok. Did you take it all the away apart and clean inside the motor and oil it? The crack in the won't make it smoke but will need to be replaced if you want to fix the crack.
I've seen replacement oil wicks for the A5, how do you know if you need one?
If your clipper is squealing but it doesn't do much, they have removed them in the newer ones because if you get it serviced every 6 months or so it will get oiled when disassembled and never squeal.
I rarely use mine, they are only my backup clipper. I was just curious because I never heard about that part before. Mine works fine. Thanks!
Bro, can I just switch the blade hinge from my A5 and put a 76 hinge for it to work with regular blades??
The A5 hinge is fatter and so regular blades wont slide in...
perez senior a A5 will work on a 76. they are the same. a5 hinge just has a latch
So its my 111 that has thinner blade slots ?!@#%? (BTW thanks for all the great videos) cheers from California.. ;)
perez senior ya a t-111 hinge won't work correctly on 76 blades. NP and thanks for watching.
What makes the machine have a burning smell,coming out of the vents ?
bigo boss alot of things. Hair inside, wet brushes, bad aremature, posts on feild missing and rubbing the aremature, fan loose. Hope that helps and thank you for watching
Would worn out brushed cause it ..the clipper still runs fine it's just the smell .any way of tearing the armature (thanks for the reply)
bigo boss np. it can be the brushes if they are not making good contact
I meant checking the armature .. which website do you recommend to get the parts from .
i have a 76r clipper but when i turn it on the air it blows smell like burn ! any ideas if is fixeable
Jairo Aguilar yes you will need to have it cleaned out and probably an armature. if it over heated. I'm sure it needs other part also if its filled with hair.
thanks men i disassemble it yesterday and it was filled with hairs , im going to try to clean out the armature and see how it works appreacite your response 🖒
Jairo Aguilar NP
can you change the clipper's voltage ?
I can not. I do not have the diodes to solder inside to convert voltage but you can try a overseas adapter or I'm sure there is a shop out there that does have the parts. Sorry but thanks for watching.
Can I use fishing reel grease?
Probably not bc it won't stand up to the heat
How much do u charge to fix them !???!
Bill Murray I can't give an estimate without looking at it. All information is on www.diamondedge2015.com
what is that tool called to pop the clip out?
Thomas Bland snap ring plyers. I use channel locks bc they can be meant to open a ring or close a ring.
where the thrust spring goes on oster 76 ?
One in the feild and brush housing of the clipper
Where are you located at? Would like to use your service
+souled.out.soapers Im in Texas. Just mail your clipper to me and ill take care of it. Heres my website for details.
www.diamondedge2015.com
can i use a a5 turbo on human hair?
hunter morrow yes you can. It's faster so the blade will get hot faster than a slower oster76 barber clipper. But they can use barber or animal clipper blades still.
any idea what type of price to just covert. the clip part to except 76 clips?
a5 blades and 76 blades can work without changing parts on either clipper. The a5 will have a latch, which is better. Longer cord on the a5.
HEY. BOSS. GOOD.
