I picked it up today, The Emdeko Filtex, Model 19-B.Everything is here but the book, The box is interesting in that it is small, much smaller than the average vacuum box, the hose cuff says, The Filtex Corp, Los Angeles California.

For a few years Compact had Emdeko on their machines also..This one I think, must be one of the last ones made, the hose is different from the older ones in that there is a rubber cuff instead of it being all metal, I know its original because the rubber cuff is stamped Filtex corp....the tools really are quality, not at all like the stuff found today.

Charles, The machine was in Gibsonville NC, So I met the guy in Greensboro and picked it up...Gibsonville is near Burlington., so I drove about 2/3 of the way to get it, about an hour or so, that gave me an excuse to eat lunch at Stameys BBQ!
