Thank Goodness!!! My Lux AE turned out OK, but I'm not super pleased with it, and I will most likely do it one more time before moving on to the other machines. But thanks for the info. Now I just have to get the Universal! | ||

Kenmore?
By the way Rick, I'd like to hear more about your Kenmore "rocket," or as I call it, "torpedo tank." Is it the regular tank model, or is it a "Kenkart?" What color is the dome, handle, and side trim? Did you get attachments with it or just the vac? I have a regular "torpedo tank," model 116.730. The "dome, handle, and side trim are all burgandy, as are the attachments. Hose is replacement, wands are original. It runs pretty good and makes that characteristic "prrrrrrreeeeeen" sound when you fire it up. My folks had one just like it when I was little that they used in the basement and to clean out the cars. Jeff | ||

Commander, that's it! I will have to post a picture of this unit. So far, it's none of the above! | ||

Think I've Got It Figured Out!
The light tan color on the dome and side trim indicate that it's older than mine. Yours probably doesn't have the door over the exhaust like mine does either. It would be interesting if someone had some kind of chart or list showing what models were made when and the color schemes. I'm not positive, but I think the silver/gray ones were first, turquoise was last, and everything else was somewhere in between. Jeff | ||

I'm pretty sure that all of mine have the exhaust door except for the cart versions. But I'll have to look again to make sure. I do love the sound of this machine -- like none other, expecially the "burrrrrit" when it starts up. | ||

Last In hopes you could see the Hammertone, but camera no good for hammertone. Cord bad too. (as soon as I stop talking like a caveman, the picture will come up)

but camera no good for hammertone. Especially since that's not hammertone! Hammertone paint has a very pronounced "mottled" look as opposed to wrinkle finish or textured enamel. | ||

That's It!
That's just the one I thought you had from your description. Think it was the model right before mine. I believe the silver/gray was first, then yours, then mine, then the ones with the polished dome,and finally the turquoise. I think mine was made around 1950-52, so yours could possibly be from the late 40's. Jeff | ||
