So after an nightmare week of convincing the seller to post and another week of waiting for it to arrive, it finally came, it was in okay condition outside, nothing that a good old dust couldn't take care of, under the hood was a completely different story as the pictures will tell, my guess is that the old owner purchased a new vacuum and used this one as a garage/ DIY vacuum and then sold it due to the suction loss due to a blocked hose and smashed fan case, its a miracle that it is still working, anyway enough of me, here are some before and after pictures.
The wheels were both smashed to smithereens when it arrived.

Its impossible to re-use a picture on VL unless I save it first, and if its saved on my hard drive, its easier to bring it up again - after all, when you post a picture on VL you are putting it in the public domain. I just happen to think it was a nice pic. | ||

Lovely restoration. Pained me to see it in its initial condition! Glad you had spare wheels too! | ||
