Yes hehe...I'm wrong, I was thinking on an old round shaped Progress commercial/industrial vacuum that was called also Mercedes. |

Mazeltov on your find of the Progress Mercedes. In South-Africa they were commonly used in households from the early 70's.
WOW that was something I have thought about quite resently, and thought that I would never see one again. Over the years I owned 2 of them, hence the availability of spares and the progress brand that went off the market in the 60's-in South-Africa, bags etc were a pain to find and too expensive to import. Enjoy and Congrats again. Adrian Smith |
