The Complete "Compact" Home Renovating System model C-7. IEC Electra. From the unique attachments, to the beautiful shade of blue. This stunning example came home with me from Memphis. It was part of Father Bruce's collection and is mint condition. It now has a place of honor at the Vacuum Cleaner Museum for the world to enjoy.

We had the compact in OZ & NZ but it was called Pinnock. I remember seeing them in secondhand shops but didn't know anyone who owned one.

Yes Mike. Late 1960s. There were two versions. The blue one which I have, Had unique attachments that were not very durable. The blue version was made for a very short time. It's the one that had the drag queen on the cover of the instruction book. The second version of the C7 was green. I have one of those new in the box. The green one took away the cloth hose and added a vinyl hose. The attachments were back to the standard compact attachments, however, they were white to match the handle and the bumper. The green version came with a turbo brush powerhead. Called "the turbinette".

Glad that Compact was able to travel back to you, Tom.. I really enjoyed it while I had it. Now it's in its rightful place for the long run. | ||
