Joe,
Your Classic III has the indeed infamous F&G conversion kit on it. It was not good at all, as the design of it tended to cut off incoming suction noticeably. You need a proper Sani Emtor and bag, which would have looked like this at the time your machine was made. ~Ben | ||

The Classic 1CR light bulb is not the same as those for models Classic Omega 1CB to Legend II.
Whereas the 1CR's light bulb is 120 volt, twin-contact, the light bulb for models 1CB to Legend II's is 12 volt and single-contact. In either case, it must be correctly assembled or it may not light when the cleaner runs. ~Ben | ||

Yes, push in slightly and twist CCW to remove. This 12V bulb can be replaced with an 1156 automotive back-up bulb available at many local retailers. | ||
