I had to cut the hose down 6in, it had a bad spot, but the rest of the hose is like new. now all I need to do is grease the moter bearings, they are a bit dry, from age. does aney one know the year this was made. I am thinking 1965-1969. thanks Chris |

Uh oh! Gee, all I found in a thrift store like that only had the hose, the dust brush, and crevice tool. I paid $5.00 for that. But for another $12.00 or less, I got some wands, floor tool, and some extra cleaning tools from Toby. I got a nice copy of a book from him too, I'd believe your vacuum is from around 1965.

Great find Chris, and what a deal. It doesn't look like it had much use, just the way we like them! |
