I was window shopping on eBay and came across this vacuum. It was in great shape in the picture so I placed a bid and won it, I don't know much about it I just don't know how or where to plug it in at and it must be possessed because when I move it it turns on.





The mechanical parts are in great shape, it must not have been used much. I'll have more pics later.

That's a non-electric vacuum cleaner! It's just like a Kirby Wireless Vacuette!

my former Presto

Glad you like it.From the pictures of your home it will like being there.These were great in farm houses with no electricity or any house for quick pick ups but as you see it is very low mileage.
Happy vacuuming(even during power failures!)

Here are some pics of the inner workings of the presto. I put some fresh grease in it and it works great.
