I picked this up at the Goodwill the other day for a whopping $5.09. Couldn't pass it up despite it being filthy. Stood at the sink in the workshop for three hours scrubbing it down with Dawn dishwashing soap, hot water, and a sponge. I put in a new type J bag, and gave it a spin. It runs, but the bearings are definitely dry. Also, the cord does NOT fill me with confidence. It's extremely brittle and has cracks all over.

That's an interesting looking vacuum. I'm more intrigued by that microwave in your pics. Is that an Amana Radarange? I had one of those growing up. It was an awesome microwave and would cook anything! | ||

Looks great. I have been lucky to find 2 of these one yellow, and a orange one. They were both extremely dirty. I guess people store them in the garage or attic, because honestly there not exactly the easiest vacuum to use to be called "portable".
