Very nice machine Louis, any idea when it was made? Seems like I can remember them. | ||

A beautiful GE & hose, Lou!
Did it come with all the matching tools, too? Don't you fret none about the cost, Lou...I feel the same way about my eBay pink...er...salmon Swiveltop. The shipping to Canada was more than the vac but it's in superb condition and has all the important parts. Just missing the salmon plastic dusting brush and upholstery nozzle and they'll show up one of these days. But, it also is missing the bag ring. If there is a sponge rubber donut under the swivel dome, it had a bag ring. Know what you mean about the bags - the ring adds that extra thickness over the bag edge that lets the clamps snug the top down as the donut presses the ring & paper bag to the cloth filter bag rubber rim. If anyone has spare rings in any color metal or plastic I'd be interested, too. Without it stray dust whirl escapes past the lip and into the cover. The floor tool with the aqua green one is gray and not the right color, I think, but close enough for now. The two nozzles down front came with the Salmon one but clearly neither matches either of my swiveltops. They are the concentric ring ribbed GE ones with their names on the sides. The dark olive green dust brush looks like a match to yours? The sort of parts we hang on to until a matching vacuum comes along. :-) Dave

Hi Louis, Hi Dave: A - no the vacuum you have Louis did not come with a bag ring - the bag just folded over the rim B - Dave - the grey flip over nozzle is the right one for the green machine. They didnt start matching the colors to the machine till the model after that. Up to that point all they used was grey parts (LOL and get busy and paint that dolly green instead of red) | ||

That's really nice Louis! From Collector2s picture it seems to be a later swivel top, owing to the design of the rug nozzle. I seem to recall seeing one like it before. They had some really cool designs. | ||

Hi Chad! To answer you question about whether or not there is an electrical port for a power nozzle...no there is not unfortunately. All I have to do now is search out some tools and a floor nozzle. Wish me luck! Louis | ||

My 1978 Canadian Tire Spring & Summer catalog has 4 versions of the swivel top. Two without the power nozzle, economy and deluxe (cord winder) Two with a power nozzle, the economy (no cord winder) and the Deluxe with cord winder. | ||

That PN looks like it is made by Filter Queen? Right? | ||

The Ge PN was almost the exact same as the earlier Filter Queen PN. Aside from a slight difference in the shape of the top and the addition of a beater bar on the brush roll all the parts were identical and interchangable. They even had to have an adapter to connect it to the GE wand as shown in the picture | ||

Hi Chad: Actually GE did have another power head before those were out that looked a bit like the Lewyt one. This is the only picture I have of it (on the C100)and I believe it was one of the members here that has this machine (Anyone know?) I saved the picture a number of years ago for reference because the PN was so unique

Doug, if you look at your pic and the catalog one above, see how your pictured vac doesn't have the plug in for the power nozzle showing anywhere...wonder where it is? | ||

GE P/N Great power nozzle, would love to find one of those! Thanks for posting the pic... Could the P/N plug be hidden under the cord that is wrapped around the machine? | ||
