I have rec'd an email from a lady who has a Model XXX, 1947 vintage, free for the asking. Those who live in her area can pick it up [she lives on Long Island NY in West Suffolk County], or she will send it if you will cover the cost of shipping. She sent me photos of it and it's in very nice condition with a replacement hose and cord. (I can't post the photos because they were embedded in some kind of slide show.)

If you're interested, contact her directly:
