I think a Junior belt would be too thick...a 370/375 belt might be a better match...but it looks like the original would have been thinner even than that. |

Hi Jack, congrats on another classic find, now to the question, is it a "Sweeper Vac" or is it a "Little Wonder" I found a similar one about 5yrs ago and have never known where / who made it!!! This one is a Little Wonder "Whisk Brush" Vac, New York, USA, 220volts, AC/DC, no handle, the tube is metal coated with burgandy paint....the belt is miniture, just had a look and an elastic band is the nearest...another thought, a nylon sewing machine belt might work, will have a look this week,love the dinky brush-roll.. |

I have a sweeper vac that I picked up in 2001 when attending my first Washer Convention at Roberts place...while out estate sailing I found it in the attic of a massive 3 story house...this one dates to 1926 , 110v and purrs...it needs a furniture guard still, wondered if a Kirby or Royal wouuld do??
