I ran across this odd looking thing at a local thrift store and figured I'd pick it up to see what it's about. In a way it reminds me of Frankenstein's monster as it almost seems like it's made of a variety of different parts. The main nozzle itself seems to be based off the Tristar Turbo brush, The wand....i'm not sure who made it i found it odd that it doesn't have a button lock for the nozzle though. The handle reminds me of an Oreck buster B hose end....with a rubber cap over the opening.
They put that white cap over where the bellows would connect on the back, and the clear thing was to prevent it from launching powder out. I have removed both as I intend to find out how this thing would work as a power nozzle | ||

Intended Usage
I'm aware of what it was designed to do, however, I already have a great extractor. I bought it because i recall someone thinking about using the "pile lifting" brush as they called it in a standard electrolux head. I was a little curious about how it would work so i'm going to try to use it like a normal powerhead by installing a tristar bellows, if it does not work well i figured i can use the parts from it and an old tristar turbo brush to give it a geared belt setup.

I have picked those dry carpet cleaners just fine using a Royal metal upright with a cloth dump bag.Those powders fill disposable bags fast!!!Just reserve the cloth bag for that use. | ||

We used to get Host back in the 60s for our Antique Gold sculped 501? Dupont I want to say wall to wall, it was IT back then. I shook out that Compact bag SO many times to clean it up, Upright would have been nice!! They did loan out great powered brush machines that did pick up the pile well and I LOVED the smell of that sawdust?? It didn't seem to do much for spots, but in general the rug looked better.
