They were made till the early 80's they were very popular here in SA they seldom break and have really well built motors.
I have two yet to be cleaned up , mine are livergreen ( yuk) they came in a reddish brown colour to aswell as a whitish colour.
reddish brown color ones had a cord winder other wise they stored there cord like yours

hi,
gs sheen is right about the time. The yellow one with the white atachments was made as a first model. At the same time there was a green one with cord rewinder, and a beige one with a telescopic rore and automatic suction adjustment. In the early eighties the yellow one became red, and the made some export models in orange and liver colors. At this time the atachments became brown. ed |
