Here's one of the surprises that ge1969 sent me for the cost of mailing. Even though he didn't ruin the surprise, I knew this was coming. I bought bags for it two weeks ago in anticipation of its arrival. He included some also. It's Serial #115740, and has the Ultraflex hose. It works very well too. He is sending an incorrect (according to him) rug tool, as he did not have it when he sent out the package. I couldn't be more thrilled!

I've got a really nice turquoise Constellation. Somewhere around here I have a bunch of photos of it but can't seem to find them. Will keep looking. Meanwhile, here's another photo of my Orange Beauty!

charles, did that constellation have a 3-tool storage carrier in the back? It would have two holes in the rim of the bottom plate where 2 metal rods would go and then clip into a clip on the wall of the bottom can! Just wondering there was one in the family between 1960/65. Thanks Norm | ||

Congratulations, Alan!
The 858 is a nice machine, and the last Constellation made, until they brought them back a couple years ago. I've got one too. I don't use mine everyday, but I do use it frequently and it's the one I usually take with me to clean at the museum where I volunteer. Mine belonged to my Mother, and I also have a model 82 that belonged to my Grandmother. Enjoy, Jeff | ||

And Here's The Hotel Albion Constellation
Dawn Davenport gives birth to Taffy, not for the squeamish. Constellation sits at right hand corner of the sofa.
