Can anyone provide any information on the Coronado Upright vac shown in the pics? When I search VL for Coronado the only matches were for canister vacs.

The only part it appears to be missing is a headlight socket under the headlight cover - there are not any holes in metal where it would have fastened too, do you have any knowledge on what the socket would have looked like or where/how it fastened as maybe I can find something to make the headlight work as I am restoring the machine.

Fascinating vacuum. Beautiful design. All machines of this era were designed so well. I love these more obscure machines, to pull away sometimes from the more common hoovers and such of the time. | ||
