Hello Everyone, I'm hoping to be getting a model 616 soon, however I need some advice as this will be my first vintage vacuum. According to the person selling it there is a small hole near the bottom of the dust bag. Will this be a big issue and will I need to replace the bag? I do not have the machine so I can't test it out. The cord also will need to be replaced. Would I just have to replace it where it comes out of the handle or would I somehow have to thread it down through the handle too.

I'm not sure of the condition of the belt but if it needs to be replaced what is the best type/number to get

I am also planning on using modified type c bags since type w handisacs are hard to find.

If anyone else with this model has any other advice to give me please let me know, I appreciate it all.
