As for the motor, would it be the same that equipped the SUperJ ? | ||

Nah, that one's not too rare. It was the budget version of the Olympia, having no automatic system, a less powerful motor, and no integrated cord winder. It does take the same hose and bags as the Super J, and if it runs well and is being sold at a decent price, then I highly recommend that you go get it.

Thank you Adin, she's asking 40$ for it, I find it a bit steep for a vac without its hose or any attachment. I don't know if it works well or not. I don't know why you say it doesn't have an integrated cord reel, the white rear section is obviously the cord reel compartment? | ||

$40 is a good price, especially if you already have tools and a hose to fit it. The cord winder was optional. Those Special models came standard with a cord halo, and if the customer wanted a cord reel, they could add it on. The Olympia has the cord winder integrated into the machine, while the Special models had the cord winder as an add on.

I already own three SuperJs, and I have 5 hoses that could fit, not all in great shape, but I'll see what I'll do IF I buy it. It won't be an easy one, it's a bit far from my place. | ||

There's one in better condition here for less, not including the shipping: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Electro... It does not have the automatic winder though. | ||
