Disassembled and drying off. The motor and fans were actually very clean. |

She is much happier now. I present to you the Filter Queen Majestic Triple Crown (65th Anniversary Edition). |

Attach a power nozzle wand that has a snap connector (for lack of a better term). Here I just grabbed a Rainbow wand but you can use the older Eureka wands, etc. |

Finally, attach the Filter Queen hose to the friction fit adapter (I fits perfectly and holds well). Here is the complete picture. It really is "rigged" up but fun to use. |

Logan, Great "rigging"! I would venture to guess that lots of us do that . And, as you said, you get a super vac. Fred S. showed me how to put my Air-Way p/n on my Compact Electra and that makes a wonderful combination. I'll know my Mar. schedule on 2/13 and then we can plan something. Plan on making lots of creative combinations! |

Logan, great find on the FQ, Thanks for the tips on the power Nozzle adaptor. I was just about to ask if you know where to get them? So you'll let us know when,where and if you find out any info. Norm |
