Found this in a dumpster behind a vacuum shop by my house - the only thing I could find wrong with it is that one of the electrical connector prongs where the hose plugs into the tank is corroded - seems to work great! It says its a model 4500.

three prongs where it plugs into the tank, but two at the nozzle?

works great, but smelled a bit like dog. I've ordered new bags and a filter.

i kind of want to remove the tool caddy - I think it would look much cleaner as just a "tank". The caddy is riveted on and I'm not sure how easy it would be to re-attach the handle and power switch. | ||

 It will not sell as well - or at all to the knowledgeable - without the tool saddle. The blue tools are plentiful to come by. These little variable speed Ponys are fantastic all purpose cylinder vacuums.
The blue and the red ones are the ones I loan out while I fix folk's household machines. They are bulletproof reliable and I snap up every one I find. Quiet, powerful and the long hose is a bonus - makes ya wonder why all hoses aren't this long.

 Wow what a great find , If it was mine and I was going to keep it I would remove the tool caddy aswell, shouldn't be that difficult but I think it would look better without it, however if your going to sell it then as dave says keep the caddy. I don't think it would sell well or easily without the caddy either. Gareth | ||

There ended up being a good looking vacuum under all that "baggage"!

I'd guess it's more lighting conditions, low electric light versus sun-powered daylight, makes a massive difference in colour temperatures and hues with most cameras on default settings... :) | ||

Same camera (iPhone) - different light and no plastic tool caddy in the way. | ||

re; 3 prongs at the hose, 2 at the power nozzle. This is to allow for the headlight to be on, but not the nozzle for bare floor cleaning. However, your nozzle is not so equipped. Eureka used this feature on it's Express canisters. | ||

Vacerator, I think you have it a little backwards.
3 prongs on power head wire to hose and 2 prongs going into the suction unit from the hose, that is headlight always on control so that power nozzle motor can be shut down. Hoover PowerMax, Windtunnel canisters did this, along with Eureka Express. 2 prongs on power head, 3 prongs going into suction unit, is full machine on/ off control on gas pump handle!! This is the general standard wiring scheme for Kenmore, Panasonic, this Royal and Hoover canisters that had on/off switches on gas pump handle for entire machine! | ||
