The bag on yours looks to be in good shape. I just used a dusting brush and vacuumed outside and inside of the bag twice.
The tools are nice to have even if the box is toast. I have some 519 tools but no 560 or 561. Oh no water on the bag. Keep it as far away from water as possible. I could live with using a 560 or 561 the have just enough power and the trim is aesthetically pleasing. |

Here is my 561. I use it almost daily - I am somewhat sentimental about it - its as old as I am (sometimes it runs better than I do) :-) I know it is not original but I wanted a red color theme for it. Enjoy your 561!!

what I forgot to mention, no odor. Is it possible the dust & stuff was so old that it went neutral? :} |
