A few weeks ago I got this Kenmore Two Speeds Twin Fans model 175 upright for 15$ and it cleaned up very nicely! I had to use an F&G bag because the only original spare had holes in it. Other than that it just needs a new belt and end cap for the brush and it will be good as new. Oh and I forgot to mention low doesn't work, It was set on hi when I got it and the switch area was very dusty, so maybe the switch it's dirty? I don't know bot it looks like new and it turns on when the handle is reclined.

Gotta love that 70's bag! A dirty switch is a possibility. That happens after lots of moisture/accumulated dust, and lack of use.

You could tell the dust in the switch area was moist at one point because I had to scrape it off with a screwdriver.
