Very nice find there! Actually quite rare. I've always wanted a model 26 and a model 25. two of the most elegant machines of the era. Little scratched up, but with some elbow grease I bet most of those scuffs will come out | ||

I am interested by the fact that the 26 had a foot operated switch but the 262 uk version had the switch in handle.
This is unlike other models like the 62/ 629 convertable/652 were the Usa versions had the switch in the handle and the Uk version had the switch on the base. | ||

ultralux88 I am in Crested Butte. This vac was in front of an old mining home turned vacation family retreat. I knocked on the door but no-one answered. I may gift this machine to someone that would like to restore it. I have way to many vacs and no time | ||

Would love another 305 model. I had an all original one. Don't know what I did with it. Back a few years ago when I had 3 model 28s. I loved the hood on the 305 the most out of that style. | ||

belt, brushes thanks for the offer bvac6 in the end, I will more than likely give this vac to someone that wants to restore it. Too many projects and not enough time | ||
