You did a nice job there. But be warned, once you finish your first resto you will want to keep doing more and more and more! It's a good thing, but once bitten you cant stop! | ||

beautiful machine! I am also in the process of restoring a Tradition. It's a long (and expensive) restoration however, since the motor unit and emptor (excluding nozzle) are the only parts I have! Your's looks good though and now you can enjoy it! Do you have the original bag setup or have you upgraded to use newer bags? | ||

vac_whisperer: typically a good silicone sealant does the trick | ||

I use DAP 100 percent silicone sealant (comes in a smaller toothpaste like tube) but I am sure other brands would work just fine | ||

Hmmm.... not sure what state you are in but Menards & Lowes both carry it around here (WI). I would think any major home imporvement chain would have it, but I am sure if you cannot find it other silicone sealants will do the same thing | ||
