Assorted scuffs, loose parts, and a broken prong on the well-taped cord.

What I love though is how easy replacing the cord is on these models, 2 screws and there you are, ready to wire in a "new" cord taken out of the parts bin.

A bag change and a quick clean up. Still not a looker, but runs like a champ.

Nice find there!! I have a Kenmore Whispertone I found last fall that's even earlier than this one, the Whispertone Dual Motor, which was their first offering in the early 90's for clean-air uprights. Take care of that, & in particular, order a new set of carbons for the motor....I believe these were still using Ametek motors. If you replace the carbons & take good care of it, these will last a VERY long time.

Storms knocked the internet out for a bit. Yes, it does have attachments on the back. They look like they were hardly used. Went out early in the evening since I had to drop my son off at a friend's house, glad I did : )...it really stormed that night. Had I made my usual morning drive, it would have been drenched. | ||
