So did the SP8000 look like this? Did it also have a headlight? I noticed the SP8005 has a headlight. | ||

So the SP8000 did not have a headlight, but the SP8005 did. That's cool to know. Too bad Montgomery Ward did not make any other commercial vacuums except those two. And those are hard to find, since so many of us collectors want those models. | ||

I tried looking for a picture of how a Sanitaire 698 looked, but I could not find a picture. | ||

What can make vintage commercial vacuums rare is typical commercial buyers use the machine until it dies.It is then so beat up it is thrown out and replaced.You could be lucky and fish the vacuum from the trash or dumpster as it is thrown out! | ||

I've never done that before. But it would be hit or miss. | ||

Here's some pictures of that machine you mention (from eBay auctions).

That looks so cool! It looks more 1980s though. | ||
