Stunning colour, Erick!!! even the floor nozzle is yellow trimmed. You may have to shorten the hose a few inches but that's an easy hose to unscrew with patient cleverness. That's the uncrushable type such as Royals use on uprights, drum canisters and cylinders. hygiene903 Jeff Schroff Sr. can give you tips and tricks - he used to sell them. I wash hoses like that in the bathtub with a potato brush and dishwashing detergent. Hang it up to damp-dry and then blow warm air through it to chase away any remaining moisture. I am looking forward to seeing her all gleamed & glammed up in the sun... Dave |

Fixing the hose turned out to be easier than expected. Now I just need to clean it. All of the metal needs to be polished and the rubber needs a good scrubbing. |

Oh I love that yellow, I have never seen one like this before. Glad you were able to fix the hose. |

I was going to tell you how to fix the hose, but sounds like you've already figured that out. But anyway, a little Mother's Mag on the chrome and some NuFinish car polish on the tank and it should look pretty nice. And if the NuFinish doesn't bring the finish back, try a little rubbing coupound. Good luck, and am looking forward to seeing the finished product, as well as the rest of your collection. Jeff |
