I am 16. I got this on eBay and just finished restoring it. It came from the original owner and she was very very easy on it. What is the difference between this one and the green one? This one is 12 A. Also what is it worth, or what would you pay for it. Any information will be appreciated

Fantom Fury

The copper/gold colored Fury was exclusive to Wal-Mart. The silver Fury was the "mainstream" model sold everywhere else, after the 10 amp Fury was discontinued. As far as the value goes, like any other machine it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. There are several on eBay for over $80 and they aren't selling. I don't think that they are "rare" but they are becoming less common with every year that passes. Keep in mind that when Fantom went under fourteen years ago, the parts base stopped too. The only parts you'll find now (besides filters) will be used or NOS.

I think that it would be worth 80-100 dollars. That seems to be a newer one, judging by the orange pull out lint trap towards the bottom, not the little rubber plug at the top. Seems to be pretty clean. One thing I would do is take it apart and blow out the motor with an air compressor. They are a pain to take apart, but once you have done it once it becomes easy. Lightly lube the motor, too. These suck a lot of dirt into the motors, and it'll likely need cleaned out.
