I had that "tingle" today telling me i had to check out a local pawn shop, surprisingly there was an airway 88 Mark II (white and green) for 19.99. Of course, for the price i had to pick it up, I'm not sure i've ever seen an Airway in the area until now. Upon getting it home i discovered that the PN outlet has two differently sized holes, were they made for a special nozzle like a dc nozzle? Pics will follow tommorow, I'm already up "late"

The receptacle was made that way so the hose cord could only be plugged in the correct way. That pigtail hose cord was unique to Air-Way, and is very hard to find (along with the all-metal RugMasteR power nozzle) today.

Thanks Tom, that's good to know i made the assumption that it used a more universal connection when i bought it.

And here it is

Very Nice Air-Way. Now all you need is the matching RugMasteR power nozzle. Your cleaner was made around 1972.

I'm not really a.... "purist" When it comes to my vac i'm more about it's functionality so i'll often pair canister which non original heads in order to get a better performance from them. For example i've paired my Filter Magic with a Vibra-groomer III power head because i felt that it's a good match for it, the stock powernozzle for it was terrible.

Alright. *awaits the stoning*
