Here is the hose. It's in wonderful cosmetic condition. I've also seen some of these models with a brown hose. I hope this is original.

Mmm,Chad, I was thinking that hose would look good on a Roll-Easy or a turquoise Swiveltop or Compact. As for the GE tools, yes that mold can be stopped in its tracks with bleach and you may find is useful to chip off the psoriasis-like larger flakes first with a toothpick. The plastic used is GE's own Cycolac ABS version of Lexan and is virtally scratch & mar-proof. They licensed the less expensive Lexan derivative - developed and used during WW2 for airplane window panels - to other appliance manufactures and I'm sure receive royalties to this day. | ||

Thanks for all the info! I was wondering what I was going to do about the mold. It has a funny smell too, so I hope the bleach will kill that. BTW the motor runs perfectly. | ||

Nice GE, Andy!
And as Norm said, I have a similar one that he gave me a while back. The swiveltop on mine is polished aluminum instead of pink, and I have the original hose, which I have repaired since this photo was taken, and also cleaned up the attachments. About the only thing I need to do yet is to use rubbing or polishing compound on the painted parts to bring back the finish. It is also a powerful machine which I enjoy using. Thanks again, Norm!! Jeff
