Even though I restored the unit itself, the original cord and plug were in great shape. |

The Model R really is a cool and lovely machine. Granted, I have a soft spot for all the economy models because so many people had them. |

Was that clip used for the crevice tool's storage? |

is to hold the end of the cord in place when it's wrapped up. You'll find a clip of some sort for that purpose on the R, E (AE) AF, and L too. |

Congratulations on scoring this rare Lux. It will be nice to see it after its restoration, especially since you have the original hose and other attachments! |

When I built my "R", at least I was able to get the bag chamber in straight...It's from a model "E". Construction pics to follow this one. |

"R"4 This was having "created and shaped" a new bag bulkhead and chamber support out of PC7 Epoxy, a lot of sanding, and luck. I can't find the rest of the pictures of the bag chamber re-do. But you can get the idea. |

Holy cow, that wasn't a restoration, you performed a miraculous reconstruction from an archaeological artifact! I'm impressed. I would feel honored to stand in the shadow of your greatness! |

There is some rust, but nothing too serious. Except for some expected carbon brush debris, the motor is surprisingly free of accumulated dust considering how old this is. |
