The "thing" on the Emptor is to open and add "Sweet Aire" to the pad in the back of the Emptor. It was a fragrance/musk scent that would then be spread through the room(s) through the exhausted air. A lot like Kirby's "Odorific" in later years. Greg | ||

Sweet Aire
The red plug is a sweet Aire cap. If you look in the emptor is a metal trap/sleeve that hd a felt or similar type of material. Sweet Aire is where you would put scented drops into the Tor.
Your fan, entire nozzle, motor housing, emptor, handle and grip are original. The cord, bag,wheels aren't original. It cleans up nice. | ||
