Those are awesome vacuums and work well in a commercial setting. They were especially good in churches. Upright don't work well at all in most church settings. The pews are generally to close together and the long hose and power-mate worked very well.
I used that exact model for years at a bank I worked for. The vacuum came from the local catholic church. They replaced it with a Hoover Conquest which died shortly after they purchased it. The women hated it because it didn't fit and they had to dust mop between the pews, with the commercial lux they just switched from the bare floor tool to the power-head. The Hoover didn't have any tools so they bought a cheap Kenmore canister for above the floor cleaning...the women finally convinced them to buy another Lux. They ended up with the commercial plastic version and I believe they are still using it today. I think the one at the bank is still going strong, we had the motor rebuilt and a new power-head put on in the late 90's. Have fun! | ||

Congratulations! That's a nice-looking one. What is the model of the power nozzle? I'm wondering if is different than PN-1 because of the 3-wire cord. | ||
