Headed over to London, it was such a sunny hint-of-Spring sorta day. Went primaraly to pick up this Sunbeam Turbo Brush. Didn't know such a thing existed and have never seen a picture or advertisement. Noticed it 20 minutes brfore the auction ended and threw in a bid and went to work. Well, its the same Lady Patti I got the Canadian Tire MASTER vacuum set from.

Patti is so nice she gave me a free vacuum!
We met in a coffee shop parkinglot. She had just come from picking up some stuff at an old lady's farm and said she just had no more room to store vacuums for ebay selling along with her china and glassware but knew we were meetimng so on the off chance, etc etc, so if I wanted this dirty red thing in the truck it was mine. Oh Gawd, another vacuum! Pretty tho and complete enough with the cloth filter bag, wands, excellent hose, caster dolly and floor nozzle...and four unopened 4 packs of bags. The other floor nozzle in the pic I found at Pete N Dave's Micromeet and I didn't know what it was for, other than it does fit a Filter Queen. So I polished it up and displayed it on a shelf. Damn, now I have to find a blue version Electro Hygiene... Oh yeah, I hadn't noticed nor had any knowledge of The Electro Hygiene 'swiveltop' tub. Gave it a quick wipedown with a damp cloth and Voila!!! The inner cloth filter bag is a pale blue in like new condition.

It's a vibrant Oxblood red & light gray with barely a scratch. Model No. 566, 6 Amps 700 watts! Yikers. Rubber stamped Inpection date inside on motor cage is March 1974. Stick-on bottom label says Made by Continental Royal Appliance Ltd. in Scarborough, Ontario Canada. Metal tub bottom is stamped Royal Appliance Mfg. Co., Cleveland, Ohio. Registers 75" on the gauge with or without the hose. Impressive. Will rush over to Doug Smith's site and see if it's there...
