Nice!

I hope everything goes smoothly. Look forward to seeing the finished vacuum.

This project should be easy for you...

Its finish is good enough that there is still a bit of reflection, so it should polish up to a mirror like shine real well. My Heritage II Legend was very dull when I took it home from the thrift store. Aside from the handle lean, it now looks brand new but it took a LOT of effort to get it to that level (a couple of weekends).

Inside the nozzle use sos pads or brillo pads. Try using steel wool if it brings out luster if it doesn't go straight to polishing.

Cord

It looks as though the cord has kinks in it. Idk but that looks real good. You got the Kirby disease. It starts strong but after 2 and a half years it's maintainable. Your just getting started.

The cord is in good shape, I think its a optical illusion from the picture. I think who ever owned this did not use the power nozzle very much and just used the hose. The fan was pretty chewed up and the fan case had a million nicks in it, but the power nozzle was in good shape. I have that omega to build from the ground up for it is a pinstripe bag model one. My next restore will be a Heritage II.

The handle next to label is shiny. The lines off label are what I was seeing.
