I agree with you, that Kenmore on Ebay is very nice & would be a good buy. However, to anyone reading this, be warned....the models like this one (like Dircik's middle Kenmore with red lettering) with the manual performance indicator that's at the front, right beside the hose, is usually a sure-fire way to tell if one of these Kenmore Whispertone's has the single-stage 5.7-inch Ametek or Panasonic motor. Back when they had the lighted performance indicator on the motor cover, they were still using 5.7-inch Ametek double-stage motors. While the single-stage Panasonic motor would still be in good shape, by now the single-stage Ametek motor would be close to dying, if not already dead.
