Wow I'm blown away. I have all the original documentation from 1952 purchase. A 1969 rebuild and the 87 rebuild. Hard to believe this was $287 in 1952! |

Thanks for the info! I just miss the 6 blade sound. Did a bit of cleaning up today. Just a light polishing. |

I wonder if I can swap the belt lifter from the floor polisher to the nozzle head. So it's back to original. |
