That IS a beautiful machine. And speaking of early Compacts, you can see the very first model here: CLICK HERE TO GO TO charles~richard's LINK |

Interesting how Compact changed to the two piece shell providing for a domestic use perimeter bumper with the C-2. Noticed that the C-1 looks to be one piece body with the motor pod bolted to the back. Plain simple and compact for Airline use. A head of it's time and looking sleek & stylish right up till the Tristar 're-design' in 1999. |

That is just so cool,,thanks for all the info! You know, the one thing that i do miss, comparing a TriStar/Compact to an Electrolux ( i mean an older Lux) is the ability to stand the cleaner on end for reaching up in high places, and for storage. AAhh well, i'll get used to it,,,i guess a person could prop up the TriStar somehow, or up against a wall if you really wanted to. |

Remember the "Strap" that used to come with a Kirby that you could attach to the small handle,(that was attached to the Kirby in place of the large handle) and throw the whole Kirby over your shoulder? HAHA,,i wonder how many people actually did use a Kirby that way. Altho im not a huge fanatic, I will have to admit one nice thing about Central Vac is to be able to reach any area of a room, top to bottom very easily. Wrestling with 30 feet of hose, around corners and doorways isnt very handy however. |

Nice, nice machine! I'm putting a photo of my TriStar CXL below, so that it will be a direct comparison between the newer machines and the classic Compact. Do you have the step-on pedal for your machine? |
