Hi! my name is John. Last Friday my wife and I were browsing our local thrift shop,looking for some craft items for her, and I happend to find for myself a 1954 GE swivel top in like new condition. It came with all the attachments in the original cardboard box. All this for $10.00. I'm a janitor by trade, and let me tell you all the commercial vacuums I use at work, aren't as tough as my new swivel top.

John, while I've never had one

From what I've read onsite, those are a great cleaner! Built like a tank. I think you can still get the bags although you may need the help of fellow members for that. Congratulations
