As rare as hens' teeth but it's too bad it has a replacement hose, which certainly will affect its potential value.

"--replacement hose--"?

This does look like original hose.Better pictures would help.Attachment holder is beyond rare!Wonder if it still has the poem under bag lid.Switch pedal seems good,they often broke.

Haley's comet was in 1986. I know nothing of this vacuum. It does look like a miracle mate machine.

That's a cheapie replacement hose. I had one of these beasts once upon a time. The hose was gold vinyl, rather heavy and thick-walled -- as over-engineered as the whole thing was.

If everything else is there and the vacuum is all good - the hose not being original is negligible to the value. That tool caddy is possibly the most elaborate tool caddy I have ever seen in my life!

The Tucker of vacuum Cleaners

I read that whole story and reminds me of the Tucker, a car a man built that surpassed the big three and it was the big three that put him out.

Haley's Comet

My hose is much closer to the lighter color of the one in Maine.Could be that Charles hose was discolored from a smoker or wood burning heat OR they might have had 2 different suppliers.(It would be very difficult to change hose on the one above and have the ends look factory original.)
Has anyone noticed that for a Compact 'copy'the HC has something Compact never had--a cordwinder.

I have a Haley's Comet. Talk about an overgrown Compact on steroids. It's very heavy and hard to move around. It IS a conversation piece. The rug tool is useless unless you are on a wool area rug. Every time I use it I turn it right back off again and put it away, remembering why exactly I don't care for it.

Hmmm,

doesn't the tool rack remind you of a converted record player 45 record rack? I can see adding a thick plastic horizontal panel, drilling holes for the tools and attaching that slanted grid-work to cradle the floor tool.
