ok, Cheese Girls.....LOL I think the owner tried to do more than just replace the cord because in one of the pics you can see that the red paint around the Universal logo looks smudged

The Universal Jet 99 was not nearly as good a vacuum cleaner as the Atlas, due to two simple changes. Universal made the Atlas hose connection swivel as well as putting the machine on wheels. They also made the cloth bag 1 inch shorter, so it didn't sit directly on top of the pre-motor filter which cut off the airflow on the Jet 99. For such an overbuilt motor, the Jet 99 isn't that strong (about 50 inches of lift).
I rebuilt mine, including the unique motor, so it runs like the day it left the factory. I think the one in the eBay listing has been repainted. Mine should be worth MORE. | ||

It would be interesting to see the 99 refitted with a shorter bag to observe any improvement in the suction. | ||
