"Doin the Sweepin" today at the Vacuum Cleaner Museum in St. James, Missouri.

It's been YEARS since I used my Sunbeam Courier. Got it down, and WOW. I had forgotten how powerful the machine was. Well, the motor's suction fan is the size of a dinner plate. So much power and airflow.

The inside attachment storage is awesome. This is the "Hide-A-Cord" model. Those original Sunbeam bags were pretty good at filtration.

AND, the best part, all that 1967 suction and airflow can be directed to a REAL power nozzle. Using the Volt cordless central vac power nozzle, hooked to the Sunbeam Courier, to clean the 1960's carpets. This thing is a BEAST.

The cordless power nozzle is available as a Volt (it's black) as well as from HPVacuflo as a "Hide A Hose" power nozzle (it's white). They're wonderful. I use mine with my Vacuflo (or as I call it, the "Spencer Turbine"), as well as all my vintage canister and tank cleaners. It's wonderful with the Hoover Aerodyne as well as the Eureka Roto-Matic swivel top from the '50's.

I need to get myself a Volt. Would be GREAT for the AirWay 66 or Electrolux model 60
