I saw Duane's Ira Lee in the newsletter as well and would to hear more information about it. To say it is a beautiful work of art is an understatement...I noticed in the pictures it had a very streamlined, "long" motor/nozzle assembly. | ||

Since Duane Isn't Answering
I really don't know too much about this machine. Duane owns a vac shop in WI and people bring him vintage vacs due to the display he has in his shop. He completely restored the machine and isn't it beautiful? I did see it in person and it won two blue ribbons Best Restored and President's Choice. The brush roll is driven through a flexible shaft that runs from the top of the center of the brushroll housing down to the right hand side of the brushroll. You can see the curved housing on the top. Duane said that after he restored it, the shaft snapped!!! I am not sure how he repaired it. Fred | ||
