Yup, that would be me. I bid $54.99 figuring I wanted it, but the shipping will be horrendous, and some one else would surely outbid me big time...but if they didn't it would be a bullet I could take. :-) If ya don't try...you never know what might happen. So here I am with another hole in my head and an original 1947-49 Lewyt Model 40 virtually on the way with all the parts and the carton. Hose leaks? No problem with my latex treatmnent. I think I got a bargain. From Roselle Illinois...perhaps the seller is a VCCC poster, too? Mmm, matching gray carpet. |

Charles has a superb ultra-complete Model 44 - 1950/51. This newest eBay surprise bargain is a first generation Model 40 - 1947/49 and does not use paper dust bags; the 40 and 44 collect the dirt in the tub like a Filter Queen. I have a Model 55 - 1952/54 canister only, gift of Mr Smith, in rough shape. By then Lewyt had done away with the extender pole with cloth dust filter 'tent' mimicing the FQ cone (litigation resolution?) and it uses paper dust bags fitted over the inlet inside the tub. I have an original bag of Bags for it. There is still a red cloth motor filter but it is flat like a drumhead to allow room for the bag underneath. Btw, while they have the same idea for hose attachment, the Lewyt uses a 4 lug connector while the FQ uses a 3 lug arrangement, so they are incompatible. :-( I do have a thing for the model variations within a brand. :-) |
