I have had this for such a long time, and it has been sitting in my garage until I decided to move it. Well today was the day. It is a model 863 from 1989. Are the bag and cord original on it? And does anyone have any information on this particular model? Thanks!
Chase

Chase,

The model # is actually 883. It replaced the 604 in mid-1987, and it resembles the original 601 and 602 that preceded the 604.

BTW, could you please give me the serial # and amperage? Best I can put it is serial #A89A008151 (January 1989) and 6.0 amps.

Chase,

This means your 883 was manufactured in October 1989, just like your model 9005 Classic.
