So I went to see a friend who owns a Vacuum repair shop. When I got there I saw this polisher.I have seen similar ones but never seen this one. Its based on a older more popular model but with a plastic hood

all that must have blown was the suppressor as there was tin everywere but the offending item had been removed. I simply wired the machine up without it and it ran sweet

For the sake of sounding dumb here, am I seeing it right that it has a bag attached as well? Is that just to make it resemble a vacuum cleaner? I am very intrigued by its design!

This machine was designed here in South Africa and one of my most sought after vacuums used the same base and motor just with a roller brush

Just a thought

Concord was the in-house name for appliances sold by Dion's. Could this machine be a B30 with plastic shroud?
