Seems Alex forgot to send the machine - just a box full of those damned peanuts and a black curved stick!

Seems to be complete except for a rug plate and one of the clips that holds it on. Might be missing a bumper too. Both of which after I get a photo of them I can fabricate to match original specs.

Switch, with remnants of the original cloth twisted/lead cord. When asked if it ran when he found it Alex answered "I don't know - didn't want to burn the house down trying to find out". Good call Alex.

Test leads easily connected - LF&C knew that in seventy or so years, I might come along and want to see and hear this thing run, therefore, they provided this convenient hook up. More ratty original cord showing....

YAY!!!! The Universal Upright has arrived! Looks like she is going to need a good visit to the "Winkler Spa"!!! I am betting that there wasn't a plate that went over the brush roll but that is just a guess. Congratulations on getting a very rare machine. Terry | ||

I can't be more pleased. Thrilled actually. I didn't know if I would ever get one of these early Universal uprights. Can't wait to get started on it. Alex, thank you ever so much for getting it to me. Rick | ||

Hey thanks for the photo Jack. Makes sense to me now about the grooves in the rug plate. Good. Much easier to fashion a wire rug guard than a whole plate! That Sweeper-Vac is very similar. | ||

Love those old brochures. Looks like it had a screw in light socket plug? | ||

Congratulations Rick!
on getting this Universal after failing to get the one that I outbid you on!
It's very similar to mine, only mine doesn't have Model 58 written on the front cover. The two wire guards on the Universal are very similar to the ones on the Sweeper Vac that Jack has sent a picture of, only on my Universal, the wires at the back are each secured with a metal plate and two screws instead of hooking onto a round bar.

Yay! Glad to see it arrived in one piece. It's nice to see that puffy bag and to hear that it runs well. | ||
