Well this machine has more frequent flyer miles than I do. This is a special machine to me since I had one in college given to me by my sister-in-law from her mother who replaced it with a Dial-A-Matic Powerdrive. When I started collecting, this machine appeared on EBay and I bid furiously on it. At the last minute, my dear friend Charlie Watrous sniped it from me and I wasn't a happy camper. Since then we have traded it back and forth. I am thinking it has been from Charlotte to St. Charles at least twice and now Charlotte to Palm Springs. Glad to have it back. Any machine from Charlie comes back like brand new. He sure knows how to detail a machine. This was on top of the box.

Cord and bag and nary a scratch on the machine. It is literally like brand new. The cord is starting to show a bit of age, but is original. These bags are nearly impossible to find now since they took a beating in use.

Her tool set. I think this is the correct set for this machine. Also like new. Thanks Charlie. He sent back my Mom's GE Carpet Sweeper as well.

I have a Bag ring for a 63, and can order some bellows. Would you be interested? Then you can preserve the original bag. Let me know Andy Charlie really does a nice job on a machine. He set me up with a FLAWLESS 150. I ADORE this machine! Just my w cents before taxes... Andy

Of the 29 running. It runs like new and grooms the rug beautifully.

And having the original bag and cord is definitely a plus! Yours looks much better than mine, which has a replacement bag that uses Convertible C bags and a gray replacement cord. I have the same tool set that you have. Here's a pic of mine.
