After a bit of cleaning - a little polishing, vacuumed the inside of the bag and "dabbed" the outside with a damp sponge. Did this model have a bag guard? Still haven't started it...

Looking good! What you did with the bag is as far as I would go. No washing. Just a slight barely damp cloth on the outside and vacuuming the inside is best. They did not have bag guards as far as I know. Never seen one with one. | ||

At least your 505 bag is black. My 510 has a grey(?) bag it's in good condition but it's more of an army green color from discoloration, and nothing I can do about it! | ||

Handle I think that is the wrong handle. If I remember correctly, my 505 had a black or dark gray handle. I think it was textured, too, but it's been a very long time since I've had it. | ||

The handle grip is definitely wrong for the model. The original is a soft rubber grip that is hard to find in good shape. Most of them disintegrated over the years. But my 505 has the original grip and I have seen others with them as well so there are still some out there. Chad | ||

Does anyone make a "replacement bag" for the 505? it seems like it would be fairly simple to have the old red and gold logo silk screened on a new black bag. Then I'd be more likely to use the vacuum without worrying about wrecking the original bag. | ||

If you decide to put another bag on it, get a second emtor as well and leave the original bag attached to it. You don't wanna pry it off and wreck the bottom of the bag! I think any of the Sanitronic ones will fit so there are lots out there. | ||
