Don't let it get away, Guy!
Typing this on the ipod Touch. Too diffiucult to do a Craigslist search from here. If you're not interested yourself please email me the link. We won't know eactly what model it is, or if it is a re-paint or original UNTIL YOU GET YOUR HANDS AND EYES on it, Guy. If it is a re-paint it is certainly well done and the newer hose & white pigtail really set it off. I would be more than exstatic to take it off your hands. :-) Dave, salivating... | ||

That looks like a repainted model 89, according to the switch and handle. Then again it could be a repainted model 88 with an 89 switch and handle. Oddly enough I repainted one of mine in the same color, but the results were much less than stellar. | ||

I was just zooming in on that picture (pity it isn't bigger/clearer) and there's something a bit odd about that front cover; almost like its "homemade" or something. | ||

Bubble has burst.
An Apple Touch screen is good but not as clear as a big monitor. Now I'm at home I found the Craigslist ad. This is as clear as the picture gets. The more I stare at it the less enthusiastic I become. I agree the handle and switch are green from an 87/89 and there is something odd stuck in the inlet as an adapter for the generic electric hose. Possibly we are seeing the 89 electric hose end cap that fits over the bumper to keep the pigtail from twisting, with the hose cut off and the bojac one jammed in the stub. The 89 rubber trim is such a pale green it is almost white. I do see a full wrap-around rubber bumper strip. The ad picture is so lousy... The look of it initially made me dream it was a special Canadian version of the Hospital G, but alas I have to conclude it is a re-paint. I do like the look of the colour scheme but I could do a better job myself by repainting a pn socketed white-handled 88 (if I had a spare). :-) The seller doesn't even suggest a price so I won't bother contacting them. Now, if it was free for pick-up...mmm A heretofore unknown-to-exist original White 89 would have been quite a find, eh? Dave, disappointed, dejected but no longer distressed & distraught. :-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK on Toronto Craigslist

No apologies necessary, Bob; It's a diamond in the rough and I like the pale color. But do remove the paint from the top aluminum strip, give it a buffing. Guy, if there was a ghost of a chance the 89 that started this thread was factory cream/white I'd email the feller but I see no hint of side lettering...so it must be a spray paint job. I haven't been into Toronto in at least 10 years and a two hour drive down the 401 to get there with the traffic congestion and parking problems at Spadina $ Bloor on a weekend doesn't thrill, either. And yet I have no problem zipping down the 403 to the Hamilton area to get to IKEA or pick up a Kijiji vacuum as I have done in the past - go figure. LOL The look of it with a white hose and all does give me ideas of what I could do with a spare to create my own CanLux 'Hospital' 89, perhaps a future project that would contain a 4 or 6 fan setup for a true sleeper 'suck-the-nails-outa-the-hardwood' Monstervac.
