The only thing that I see wrong with the thing is that the back of the bag didnt have the sealer on it, so it's just open. Thats okay, I wasnt planning on using it anyways. Display purposes only. :P Heres the bag:

Sweet! This is now my oldest vacuum! It beats my next oldest vacuum buy 29 years. Anyways, I plugged it in last night and it does work. It needs a little oil though. Any idea on what type of oil I could use in it? VW | ||

Are you sure this hand-vac needs oil? Is there an oil port on top of the motor? I've had a couple of these come and go over the years and don't recall them needing oil. If it sounds like the motor is running dry, it might need grease, not oil.

Yes, there are two little ports on the top of the motor that say "oil" on them. VW | ||

"Well alrightey then." I didn't remember these machines needing oil.
You can get 3-in-1 Electric Motor oil at most hardware stores. (Note: It's not the same as sewing machine oil.) CLICK HERE TO GO TO electrolux~137's LINK | ||

Make sure you buy the 3-in-1 in the Blue can, not the Black & red can... :) | ||
