I don't know the year of this vacuum, but I think is older than 20 years.
It don't have the name of the brand, but I think is a metrovac.
This vacuum was used to clean printer and computer.
The guy at my job was going to throw this vacuum, because it was not used for many year.

I have a handvac from the 80s too, I really like it. Here's a video of it, and it shows the way the fan and motor are setup which is kinda strange, it has no fan housing...

Always thought these were quriky enough to be interesting. However the price is a little off putting.

I will open it to see how it made inside of this one.
It true they are pricey, but they are made in metal.

I'm glad you saved it from the garbage heap!  Looks like it is in great shape!

This is the pictures of the motor, I didn't remove it because it was clean.
It a normal vacuum motor.
I don't know if it normal for this vacuum, but the housing get really hot.
