Hey guys, I’m curious has anybody seen any of these vacuum cleaners? For what I know they were made in New Zealand and I’ve only seen them here in Australia, it’s essentially a paint tin with a vacuum motor in it and vacuum fittings, they look somewhat like a shop Vac fitting to me, but I’m not really sure, It’s one that I’ve been looking around for for a bit of time but everyone that I’ve seen always seems to come up short

If it uses similar Shop Vac fittings it will be very narrow diameter old style.
To me it looks like a Sunbeam VC100 that we got here in the USA.

Several 60s and 70s indoor/outdoor vacs had a styling like that Sunbeam. Singer, Shop Vac and I think Shelton and Sears/Craftsman all come to mind. I wonder if some of them were made by somebody else and just had different graphics/branding at least in some cases?
I don't recall ever seeing a GE branded version here though. |

I found one and brought it, although it does look like it would need new stickers and tank, but apart from that they look okay

It’s meant to be semi bag-less Because instead of the bag holding The dirt, it acts as a an unpleated filter, Although I will test to see if it has the same shop Vac fittings

It officially looks like it’s going to be a perfect fit
I would absolutely love to get the cream coloured shop vac hose |
