I've never seen that model. I bet it will be real purty after its day at the Sweeper Spa. | ||

Congrats! I know you'll do wonders in your vac-spa... Is that the same one that was in yesterday's VOD?

The blue cord and replacement bag. The cord, as well as all other exposed rubber parts are badly deteriorated. I will have to make molds of them and pour some new rubber parts.

Something I did not know. It took paper bags. Look to be similar to Hoover T&A bags. The bag I hope will hold out long enough to make a pattern out of it.

This is the plug that connects to the handle upon assembly. I will remove this plug and put it on the end of the new cord that you suggest Fred - and thanks for the tip.

Like I said, a little rough, but nothing that can't be fixed I don't think. I've had worse turn out just fine.

Oh, you're right Fred, I was thinking of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. | ||

Sadly the name plate will not improve much. It's pretty scratched up.

Junction block/radio interference suppressor. Mica insulators. I think LF&C held on to the use of that stuff for far too long...

Well, I couldn't help myself. I had to get this little guy out to prevent further damage. I cleaned it up and polished it just a little. I didn't want it to get the bed dirty tonight.

Almost forgot....Yep, it runs. It fired up immediately, with very little noise. Bearings are a little dry, but will take care of those when I get there. Good strong vibration free airflow. It managed to blow a stream halfway across the driveway. | ||

Thanks for showing the step by step exploratory surgery. I'll be looking forward to seeing the cosmetic reconstruction too. | ||

This Upright is the companion machine to the VC6702 Tank unit. This machine won Best Original at the VCCC convention 2009 in Chicago. By itself. No other entries. Alone. (meaning singular).... tehehehe

Its a shame!! You cant find an Anser upright for parts, they are almost identical. | ||

Rick & THEEEeee... Premier... Hello Rick.
I am glad you were able get this Premier. I L@@K forward to seeing the finished results. Having seen some of your work, I'm sure she will be able to bask in glory again soon, vs. cowering in the dark, damp places she's been.
Keep us updated on her progress. t/b/c (hmmmm?)
Aren't you glad I used the NON-toxic ink? ~~lol~~
Cheers & hagwknd all,
Bill

I always liked the shape of those machines - I'm sure it'll look stunning by the time you're done with it, Rick! By the way, we appear to have the same lamp...

I assume this Universal is some sort of ancestor of the Anser upright?

We do have Ikea here, and I got mine there too, just a couple of weeks ago! Funny we chose the same colour. It's the kind of thing I like - simple and practical. | ||
