What I love about this vacuum, is the metal base on the underside. It feels "substantial" compared to the others I have with the plastic. | ||

Thanks Chad, I will try to contact Kyle, maybe he can assist me. I appreciate all the info you gave me on this vacuum. I do not remember Century House as I grew up in NY and we had Service Merchandise, and I do not recall the other stores. | ||

Did you save the scan as a jpg file? Try that, I don't think other type of files work. | ||

Okay, okay, okay...I have to show mine now! Mine is not in very good shape. However, thanks to Jeff Parker it now wears an original bag. I like this shade of blue! --Tom

Back View It is especially noticeable from the back, gone are those horrible stains.

Lovely job!! It's a real satisfaction, isn't it, after a successful restoration to sit back and admire your handiwork. Then to plug the "new" machine in and let it do its thing is even a greater satisfaction! Thanks for sharing your success with us! | ||

Yay! It looks way better now, ready for another 30 years of service BTW I tried the dollar store generic magic erasers at 2 for a buck and they work just as well as the Mr.Clean ones at more than twice the price. | ||

I'm still sorry I let my mint green Convertible and the medium blue Handi-Vac get away, but this was before my collecting. My non-collector brother has the same blue Handi-Vac hanging in his garage. I'd ask him for it, but the state of my collections is a sticky point in the family. Enough of that, Debbie, your pretty blue Convertible is a real prize. It came out beautifully, and I can't wait to see that Constellation again!
