Henry!
Henry and other Numatic machines have not really changed much since their introduction in the 1980's.
Of course there have been small internal & external tweaks like the parking bracket, 3D face & introduction of smaller buckets but the design stays very similar in fact you can put a 2020 HVR200 head on a 1980 HVC base.

I believe Hoover still makes a commercial vacuum based on the old Convertible design but I seem to remember reading on here a few months ago that it was being discontinued.
another classic design with staying power that I had initially forgotten about is the twin-motor Electrolux upright that debuted as the Discovery II lives on under Aerus and a couple of other brands, both for commercial and household applications. | ||

TTI has moved on from the Hoover Guardsman (Convertible) and the Conquest, they are both long gone.
Speaking of which, my favorite would be the blue Oreck XL Commercial. They have been making this exact same model ever since I was a kid without making any changes to it. Well at one point they did changed the outer bag before going back to the one that they had been using previously.

Answer
I have the American Lincoln super sweep. I want to crush this rumor right now.
The kirby f@g exhaust is closet to three inches. It will not perform with type f setup. The outer bag releases no air. If you put a f&g hepa that's the only route. If you got a cb motor put a single a Speed 6 amp coil from a royal it would probably fit. The airflow on my super sweep is quite impressive. | ||

The Fairfax canister vacuums are one of my new favorite designs with that big metal dome. They have basically maintained the same design since the 60s with rather minimal changes. Unlike a lot of "tub" style vacuums like a Silver King or water-magic they actually accept a bag and you can get a proper HEPA cloth. Made INCREDIBLY well too! I've attached pictures starting from the first Fairfax (to my knowledge) all the way to the recent model, The two in the middle are mine.

Just because it shows that it's on the website doesn't mean they are still making them. In fact I just got off from their commercial website and I don't see the Guardsman listed on there. If a product got discontinued and if it's still showing on their website, that would most likely mean that they are just selling whatever they would have left at the warehouse.
