Hey Guys. Thought I would start a new project. I'm making a list of the various machines that Switson Industries made along with the attachment sets that were used at the time so that, when a machine turns up, we know what parts should be with it.
This is the list I have so far. The attachment sets will be in the pictures to follow. If you can add any machines to this list or the parts that should be with the machines please do . Model---Brand Name----Type of accessories-----Sold By D22-----Switson----------Style 1 D23-----Regina-----------Style 1 D24-----Switson----------Style 1 D25-----Fairbanks Morse--Style 1 D26-----Eatonia----------Style 1--------------Eatons F & W 1954/55, F & W 1955/56 D27-----Waverly----------Style 1--------------Eatons D28-----Valliant---------Style 1--------------Eatons ___-----Rodney-----------Style 1--------------Eatons F & W 1955/56 D42-----Viscount D52-----Valliant---------Style 1--------------Eatons D55-----Regina D56-----Viking D68-----President--------Style 2--------------President Electric 1960 R70-----Master-----------Style 2--------------Canadian Tire D76-----Viking--------------------------------Eatons D99-----Eatonia----------Style 6--------------Eatons S & S 1959, F & W 62/63,F & W 60/61 D102----Viking-----------Style 1--------------Eatons S & S 1959 D104----____-------------Style 3--------------Eatons F & W 1962/63 D107----Regina D108----Viking Polisher -------- D112----Viking Glideway--Style 3--------------Eatons F & W 1960/61 D115----Fairbanks Morse--Style 3 D129----Viking-----------Style 3--------------Eatons D130----Eatonia----------Style 3--------------Eatons F & W 1962/63 D145----Watermatic-------Style 5--------------Watermatic 1963, 1965 D147----Regina-----------Style 7 D150----Coronado---------Style 3--------------Macleods D151----Viking Trimline--Style 3--------------Eatons F & W 1962/63, S & S 1964, D152----Viking Electric Broom ---------- D169----Viking-----------Style 3--------------Eatons S & S 1964, F & W 1965/66 D171----Viking-----------Style 6--------------Eatons S & S 1964 D175----Viking Trimline--Style 4--------------Eatons 1966/67 D190----Viking-----------Style 4--------------Eatons 1966 D193----Gem--------------Style 5--------------1966 V207----Regina-----------Style 7 V217----Zeneth V219----Zeneth V221----Coronado---------Style 4--------------Macleods 1967 V222----Coronado---------Style 4--------------Macleods 1967 V233----Coronado---------Style 7--------------Macleods 1967-69 V237----Regina-----------Style 7 V240----Watermatic-------Style 5 V254----Regina-----------Style 7 |

Basically the same as style 3 but the elbow has been removed from the rug nozzle and replaced by a curved wand. The straight wands are shorter. (made using the floor brush rather difficult). Available in grey or tan with the rug nozzle matching the machine.

The "Cheap" set for the bottom of the line machines. All plastic parts. There were two variations of the floor brush. The one shown and a slightly wider one which I dont have.

I remember well my Grandma Rose’s “Regina Sanitron”. It had attachment set 4 with grey tools and a cream colour rug nozzle to match the canister. I think the hose was a “Heinz Beans” reddish brown. It came with a cardboard tool carrier which had a place for all attachments - including the clip-on felt shoe for bare floor dusting.
The canister is shown on your website - kind of a turtle shape with only two front wheels and a solid rear dragging foot of some sort. |

Hi Doug,
My grandmother’s Regina Sanitron was very similar to the Viking D151 Trimline but the colour scheme was more like the cream/brown of the Viking D190 you show on your website. The rug nozzle and the front cover of the canister were cream beige though all other attachments were grey. The vinyl hose was brown to match the body of the cleaner. The cardboard carrier was very much like your the one you show with the Viking D129 - two level storage in cream/beige. It would be great to find a retired worker from Switson who may have catalogues and literature from the 1960’s! |
