Since the cord reel was optional (at $19), the model F was designed to also be used with the reel. Simply add an extension cord (like used on the model L) and you can find out if the machine works properly. Most rubber cord on reels for the model F are cracked and brittle with age. I've not seen the cord for a model F that wasn't cracked in years.

~ Actually, Paul, you have the cloth bag / disposable bag situation backward for the E-Automatic.
Disposable paper bags were provided with the E-A in a slender carton containing four bags. There's a notation in the instruction manual, "The cleaner may also be used with a cloth dirt bag" but that was not generally recommended because of reduced performance.
The salesman usually suggested that the buyer purchase a larger carton containing "18 Automatic Self-Sealing Disposable Bags and 2 Air Filters" (as well as suggesting the optional moth killer, moth crystals, garment bag, floor polisher, automatic cord winder, paint sprayer, Nuvo® Shampoo, floor wax, etc. etc. etc.!)
If the F" stood for "Fully Automatic, wouldn't the model designation have been "F-A?"! The Model F was never referred to as such, nor as "Automatic F." It was just "Model F." The automatic cord winder was still optional with the Model F, not made a standard accessory until the Model G when it was incorporated into the motor housing. (And in the Model G manual it is stated, "While it is possible to use your cleaner with a cloth dirt bag, it is not recommended."
And then, speaking of the Model G, what would the "G" in the Model G have stood for??! hahaha
