Wow!! Sure, it is beaten up and doesn't work, but it even has the original bag! What is wrong with it is definitely fixable. Never seen one of these for sale! https://www.ebay.com/itm/265280260411QUE...

Holy moly, will need to spend a lot of time with a wire brush on that baby. It at least miraculously has all its bristles on the brushroll.

Lol and maybe JB Weld, the fan case is pressed steel!
I wonder what those tubes behind the roller are for?

Not sure if those are tubing or reinforcing arms. If it is tubing it might be oil ports, everything had a grease and oil port in those days.

The whole vacuum looks like the designer was just figuring it out as he went and just added things here and there. It might have started life as a pneumatic bellows sweeper and then it was modified into an electric suction cleaner.

I have an early Pneuvac bellows sweeper myself, one of their low end models, and its kind of wonky. No front wheels, it relied on the "finely polished" metal soleplate to provide the motion. Has just one big fat roller wheel at the back like a steamroller to power the bellows. It's comically unstable trying to use it, and it wants to flop around all over the place.

The Sweeper-Vac uses a worm gear to turn a pulley underneath the motor housing, and an exposed belt turns the brushroll. The brushroll can be turned off via the switch on the back, but if it is turned off while the vacuum is running, the gears can get stripped. If the vacuum was in better condition, I would've bought it, just because it's so strange.

Oh this photo, yeah that is fascinating. It looks exactly like how an oscillating fan works.

I got the vacuum I'd strip the vacuum. I'd try to remove the model plate
I'd soak all metal put in a container and use a chemical or electrical charge to remove the rust and residue. It would take too much time to get the rest cleaned off in the process.
