We nabbed this 515.
Came with all the original attachments and everything in flawless condition. All it needed - and still needs is the correct bag. Figured why not have some fun with the tan open top bag that was laying around. |

Your home could be used to film a new Diesel Jeans commercial.(The original had a biker tracking in dirt and then vintage vacs appearing from everywhere to clean up.) |

Les: I used some rit dye. It came out pretty good I think.
Gary: yes! It sure was in Jacksonville. Really nice lady sold it. She used it to vacuum her perfectly white carpet that was in her garage, lol. She had a G4 for inside the house. Jimmy: I’ve never seen that commercial, but now I’m going to have to look for it. Thanks! |

That really looks great. Did you have to bleach the bag before dying it red or just dye right over the original color? Or does that even effect the shade? |
