Nice finds! They look really cool, the Progress Mercedes seems to be very dificult to find, the same one was sold over here by Braun about 1975. Love the Asea Skandia too, I have the Panasonic version of it in light grey :) Kevin. | ||

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

WOW-
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 | ||
