This is not one you see very often.
Cute little Oreck type machine. Only took me six years to find a fan… lol.
Was very dirty and gross.

Many thanks to ChicagoMike (the nicest guy!) for doing the amazing powder coating on all of the metal parts. Kyle Kutlik (another amazing guy) gave me the fan by pure happenstance.
The restoration and wet sanding of plastic was done by myself.
Nice little machine for what it is. $49 in 1975 was no joke! That was more than some folks full vacuum.

What an interesting little cleaner. My Dirt Devil Junior Upright has the same size fan, lol. Nice job!

Love the houndstooth bag. With tiny wafer thin wheels like that I don't think these would have lasted very long at all. If the fan didn't break first the wheels would have.

And no kidding, $49.95 in 1975 would be $244.06 today!

Never seen one of those before! Reminds me of the power nozzle that came with some of the "sears best" models. It's looking good!
