I post rarely...but this week I found a long sought-after central vacuum system, new, complete and just waiting for me. May I introduce the 1968 General Electric Central Cleaning System!

GE CCS continued #4 I've never use the tank itself, it's too fab, but I really like GE tools, expecially the twin clean rug tool. Anyone else have any info on GE CCS's?

You have GOT to be kidding???? How could something like that not have been used/installed after all these years? Fantastic!!!! Good for you! Rick | ||

congrats!! Hey Greg! What does the machine end of the hose look like? Is it the traditional GE button lock like for the canisters? I wonder if there was a power nozzle option, maybe used the Filter Queen PN made for the GE/Premier swivel tops? Happy GE-ing! Marty | ||

You're right Hanzie! I had NO IDEA that G.E. ever made such a thing! I'd love to have one of those myself. Later, Toby G. | ||

How about under the hood! Here's the clean never fired up Lamb 115534 motor and wiring. Note how the majority of the wiring is encased in plastic tubing. Good old GE in it's glory days. It makes one wonder how many of these were made!

Hmmmm..... 30 degree fittings or 22.5 degree? The last system I saw looked like they used PVC waste & vent fittings. I wasn't aware that the plastics companies took interest in making pipe and fittings for central vac systems.
