Here is a pic of the entire vac. I think the bag has been replaced. Is this a decent vacuum ? Is it worth fixing up? It needs a good cleaning, new brush roll, and a new cord. |

Why am I not surprised? My 60s transistor radio still works on the original tubes, even if I had to rig 9-volts in series to replace the 67.5 volt battery it originally took! The 1929 Eureka still works after only needing a bag and a carbon brush in 85 years! 1940s GE upright still runs on its original parts! It never suprises me when people say 'this _________________________________________________ is _____ old and still works!' |
