So you mean the system with standard pipe and inlets or the later style 1 1/4 automatic inlets? I have one of the 80s with the small diameter pipe system.

I got extremely lucky with that hose (I know she said that to the sailor...) being that its the newer type of hose, the older ones with a single vinyl layer tend to dry rot and split! These hoses seem to be made of a material that ages better. The inlet is NOS, was never installed or used.
And here's the NOS unit I have, I've got another used one, that came with the pipe and all. Thankfully the glue they provided with the pipe and fittings dries out and lets go over time! Its a two tone gray machine, in all ways other than color both of the units I've got are identical. |

Its a picture from Flickr, not actually uploaded here. You copy the "embed" text and then paste it to wherever you are posting. YouTube also has this ability, thats how you get videos on here that you can play while looking at the person's post, rather than having to click a link and go to a new page.

Here's this one system that I was talking about, you might have seen these videos before but that's what got me into wondering if there were more information about these later models. For years I've been requesting this user to do a video of the power unit up close while running but it probably won't happen.
