These tools have been packed away in a box for quite some time. I wasn't quite sure with which model they belonged.

Now I know..... A 475! I had to cobble together a handle and a cord for it out of bits I had lying around. I dressed it in the bag off of my 700 for the photo shoot. After some cleaning up it runs like new!

But that's not all........ While out for a walk I passed a garage sale and my vac-dar went on high alert when I spotted behind a pile of stuff that oh-so-familiar red switch on a rosey-colored handle..............a 65! The hood is warped and the original bag is long gone, but I'm still tickled pink!

And, as if that wasn't enough..... I played my cards right and snagged yet another of my most sought-after vacs, just like the one that my school chum's mom had. Years ago I bought a replacement bag just in case one ever turned up. That, plus several hours of cleaning and polishing and I think I did ok.
